How could I get the web site to Steve Perry's Cainaga Casting so that I may order a berkeley jet drive unit? Thank Larry

Being a die hard Duesenberg fan with over a dozen different ones started on the model desk, I would purchase any new kits or parts made available. I was fortunate to purchase the Cord kits and all the Duesenbergs from AAM in the 90's. My mouth still waters for more and also wished I had purchased a Mudd Coupe when they were available. I have tried to cast the louvered Duesenberg hoods with little satisfaction. I am in the process of up grading my casting product and want to try to cast the exhaust / carb for the louvered hood that I have. Thanks to Art and Lee Bake for the effort. My conversion of the Brunn torpedo waits on the 8 pipe exhaust if it ever comes. We are a small group that are passionate about these classics, but someone please tease us with some resin parts offerings. Duesie

Grandma's Resin also has the tires in blackwall with Firestone on the sidewall. Firestone was a camping buddy to Ford. The Johan classic Mercedes and Cadillac kits have the same tires. The wheels and tire from these kits can also be used on the 29 ford trucks. The rear end is the most difficult part that I am still struggling with on my build. May substitue the 28 Lincoln rear end as a temporary until issue solved. Best of luck and hope to see the results here.

Per my reference book on Ford trucks of the 1 1/2 ton, Ford used the car fenders, hood and grill. The 1934 Ford has a slight slant to the grill and is different as per Lindberg kit. I am using the amt 32 Ford fenders, grill and hood on mine that I am building. The 1932 cab has only one molding on back of cab and only used the 4 cylinder engine as all v8's went to car production. I have read that the MPC switcher 32 grill actually has a little better roll at the crown of the grill. Hope this can help. Ma's Resin at http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/ has the correct wheels and tires for the Ford Trucks. I order 3 sets from Alan after a years search. Great product and a great guy here on the site. I also build Duesenbergs that I hope to post later. Larry

I think it is great that you are attempting this cobra of Ken Miles. There are two unique features of this car. One is that this car had a 289 nose which is more flat across the bottom with faily small round corners. The doors in your picture are cut into rear fender like the FIA cobras. I look forward to your progress. Duesie

I believe that I have seen a couple of monogram 30 phaetons on ebay in the cream or yellow body recently.
