The roadster is actually pretty close to 1/24...different bits entirely from the 5W coupe in the OP.

Snakes have a hard time with mongooses.

While I was out, we got a few flurries not in the forecast. Nothing stuck though, not even any slick spots on the road. But we live in hope.

Coupla guys on here whose opinions I respect aren't that impressed, but I've been pleased with Fujimi stuff in the past, and won't really have much of an opinion until I've spent some time with it. Far as driving them goes, I'm only 5'10", so I'm comfortable in Cobras. First one I ever drove was a street 427 sitting on the lot of Grand Prix Motors, close to Ga.Tech. My own car was a hot-rod VW Bug at the time, quick enough to be interesting but not "fast". They let me drive the Cobra with a salesman along, and as I was going down the 14th Street entrance ramp to I-75N, he told me to "boot it". It changed my life. Every shift was like being hit in the back with a 40-pound sack of potatoes. They only wanted $6500 for the Cobra, and would go $1500 in trade for my Bug. Couldn't talk the old man into it though.

Different strokes for different levels of ability.

New York City used to be somewhere I loved to visit, but haven't been back since my last ex ruined the Christmas trip we went on with the worst attitude I've ever encountered from a woman...even though we stayed in the Carlyle, went to a Broadway show, live jazz at Birdland, and took a helicopter ride over Manhattan when the World Trade Center was still there; there's just no pleasing some people.

On the way back from getting propane and stocking up on the fixin's for milk-and-toilet-paper sandwiches (snow's coming), I dropped into my favorite "antique mall" and found a complete, sealed inside 1/24 Fujimi 427 Cobra SC, for well under internet asking. I have everybody else's Cobra kits but have been holding off buying this one until I found a deal. Same seller also had a 6-wheel Tyrell F1 car for cheap, but the poor thing was missing all the engine parts off of the tree. Too bad. They also had an original-boxing AMT '36 Ford coupe that I almost bought for the box, but after seeing it was missing the chopped top and the wide-5 wheels...nope.

Well fellas, we got snow in the forecast again, so I gotta stock up on stuff to make milk-and-toilet-paper-sandwiches afore it's all gone.

"Fix it again, Tony" was the oh-so-clever refrain of folks who didn't quite understand Fiat's cars; same mindset brought us "Fix or repair daily" about Ford.

Morning has no relevance without black coffee.

It could still make a really cool model with a few upgrades, adjustments, and corrections. People have done some very nice work with this even older (1956) Monogram kit...

Looks like you're correct. I believe the side windows are a tad too tall as well...but it's still a great place to start, at the very least, and some body line and proportion issues don't bother the vast majority of car modelers anyway (from what I hear and read).

Mind-over-matter is actually a thing, in that a consciously positive and thankful attitude and directed meditation can have beneficial health effects.

Scalemates lists it as 1/21 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-pc57-1932-ford-deuce--265157

Looking really good. You also reminded me I've been wanting to get one of these myself. Thanks.

Canada has some beautiful sunsets.

What you have above is considerably bigger than the frequently repeated (online) 1/24, but I don't have one here to measure. I have, however, compared one to the well-scaled 1/24 Monogram '32 roadster, below, and the old coupe kit you have is a good bit larger. EDIT: Scalemates lists it as 1/21 https://www.scalemates.com/kits/monogram-pc57-1932-ford-deuce--265157

Slinky dresses for women run the gamut from understated sophisticated elegance to cheap, loud, and trashy

1/16 scale Imai Porsche Carrera 6. Initially it looks like typical Imai, kinda heavy-handed and toylike, and I can't make a judgement call about the accuracy of the body lines without doing a mockup with all the major panels assembled. I already see a fairly obvious discrepancy on the front bonnet, so who knows. It is 100% complete, including the optional electric motor stuff, and it does have the beginnings of a decent representation of the real car's tube frame, plus a lot of separate suspension pieces, and the scale is large enough to re-fabricate whatever is wrong relatively easily (maybe saying it should be straightforward rather than "easy" would be more accurate). Not cheap, but much more "reasonable" than most of 'em out there. If the body lines end up looking pretty right, I could get fired up about building this one up to show quality. I'd started converting one of the 1/16 Revell 356C cabriolet kits to a hot-rod 356A Speedster, and they'd look great together.

Lingering rodents are also a potential problem with attic model storage, as they'll test-chew just about anything (leaving cute little knawing tooth-marks on edges of plastic parts), they're not too particular about where they leave their solid and liquid waste products...and model boxes make nice warm nests to raise hundreds of littluns.

Shoes and never-worn clothes in some women's closets can number in the hundreds (and they're not cheap), but the same women have a problem with a guy's large model (or real) car stash?

I saw the Olds, may even have one, but I've never seen the Chevy.
