Now it is finished

As usual a Flathead must be installed into the Coupe. I used the kits engine and modified it with a 3 carb intake from the '48 Ford Convertible, 3 Strombergs, Sharp valve cover and air cleaners from Modelcar Garage. The crab distributor is from Replica Miniatures of Maryland along with some pulley from Parts by Park. And last but not least a coil from Mr. Model. The fuel line will added when the engine is installed in the chassis

Now to something more traditional, my plum crazy '48 Coupe. I had started with Revell's '48 Coupe. It will get only minor modifications like Replicas Miniature's carb distributor & Studebaker taillights and Model Car Garage Sharp heads. I also added some some belt lines made out of half round profiles. I just added some brake lines Here the finished body. Paint is Candy Plum crazy over plum Crazy from Zero Paints. The cal ear coat is also from Zero Paints. On the pictures it looks a bit dull. I think I have to play a bit around with my camera setup to get better pictures.

These are the best wood decals that I've saw

4-5 years ago I had started this model and I was unsatistfied with the wood. So I put it back into the box and forgot it. After my '50 Mercury Woody I decided to continue with the model. I had also used the excellent wood decals from Uschi van der Rostenhttp://www.uschivdr.com//url]

Klasse Arbeit. Sehr gut

Rods must have something odd as an engine and Chevy engines are boring. Flatty's or straight engines are my first choice

The taillights are for trucks & trailers. I bought them here. They are a little bit to big, but i like the chrome surrounding.

Thats awesome! Great idea how to re-use an old computer device

Now it is finished. And here the inspiration

Hi, whats wrong with BnB Auto Builders Site? Got this message: Board does not exist. Make sure you did not mis-type the URL.

It has taken a few days to continue with my Offy Rod. This is the first piston that I turned on my lathe. The fit of the body wasn't that good with the seats installed so that I have to remove some material on both seats Missing are the taillights,windshield frame, hub caps and the windows . I have to modify the exhaust a bit because it interfers the door
