Nice build of that kit. Grille looks great.

Always loved those cars. Nice job on your model!

Again, thanks so much for the nice comments. Teddy, the valve stems are simply pieces of wire, I believe I used scale spark plug wire for them. Didn't really take many WIP pix, because most everything shows on the finished model. Here are a few though: Comparison of the "stock" frame to the modified frame: Mocking up the rear suspension, four link from Monogram Pro-Stock kit with brass rod "link" rear axle from '32 Ford kit. "Shockwave" air ride not scratchbuilt yet. Interior mid-modification due to the extreme channelling. Laminated Evergreen was used to raise the transmission tunnel. All Parts from '32 Ford 5-window. I liked how the "Sylvester III" has the filled doors. My plans for the exhaust wouldn't allow them to open anyway. I filled the engraved lines with evergreen, and rod was used to located the body to the frame. This allowed me to disassemble and assemble the model hundreds of times knowing the body was in the same location every time. Everything getting smooth. Mockup of engine before painting. One last pic before all the paint went on. Kinda looked tough in flat black primer though. Some of you have asked about the Bugatti-Rod. Here a link to that build: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=72569&hl=%20bugatti%20%20rod Heading back to the bench!

Very nice period piece. Great job on the tire markings!

Love the yellow one. Them's my colors. Nice job on both.

Incredible photography and exceptional build as usual Sean! Keep 'em coming!

Yes, Sylvester III was a major inspiration for my Deuce and even the Bugatti-Rod. Went so far as making a poster of it that hangs above my desk at work. Been looking at it for nearly 2 years now and still not tired of it. Thanks again for all the nice comments. Hope it inspires y'all to build the next roadster. TK

Far out. I'm all about some automotive oddities.

Most excellent. Weathering & Photography.

Like the color. Nice job.

Cool build. Love those cars, my wife had a '90 XR4TI when I met her.

Wow, thanks for all the nice comments. Hope you all can see it in person sometime.

Been a while since I finished something but thought I'd share my latest build. This is Revell's '32 Ford Roadster with a few parts from the '32 5-window. Some of the modifications include: Frame "Zee'd" 10" in the back with scratchbuilt "Shockwave" air-ride. Front "Zee'd" 4". Body work includes "welded & filled" doors (top of the body would be less than 30" in 1:1 scale) and smoothed cowl to accept Replicas & Miniatures Duvall windshield frame. Engine: 392 Hemi with Latham Supercharger and 6 Stromberg Carbs on custom intakes. Fully wired, plumbed with carb linkages (over 50 parts). Interior features '40 Ford Dashboard with Model Car Garage detail set. Replicas & Miniatures finned brakes & headers (with scratchbuilt mufflers). AMT parts pack tires with custom offset wheels (from Revell 5 window). Paint: Alclad Candy Yellow over Gold Base topped with LMG "Super Gold Pearl" & fogged "Orange Accent." Interior: Testors "Rootbeer" topped with Alclad Candy Yellow & Tamiya "Racing White." Nuff of the words, on to the pix. And one more with the car I built last year, the Bugatti-rod.

Absolutely love it! Very nice job.

Looks cool. One of my favorite cars!

Very nice workmanship!

Very cool conversion! You know I love them big chevys!

Totally appreciate how much work went into this. Great job! Looks perfect!

Don't mess around, go straight to the Galaxie Chevy. Here it is with scratch built headers and intake.

Nice work so far. Kool concept. Wish I could have made it to Orlando. Keep 'em coming! I'll be watching.

Quirkily Kool! Adding some skis to the back might be interesting...

Very nice. Saw one parked on Daytona Beach many years ago. Keep up the great work.

I like it. Building something "sorta" similar right now...

Nice resto. Love the color

Cool build. I'm a fan of the 1:1.
