sSeems like the MCM forum is crawling with 29 Fords of one type or another right now. I've been wanting to build one since this spring. I was visiting my parents in Salt Lake City and my dad was showing me some pictures a friend had given him of their early years. When he came across a hot road roadster that his friend Rob use to own, I knew immediately it was a future model subject. When I ran across the AMT/ERTL Ford Model A Roadster kit at the recent Kustom Kemps Leadsled show, I grabbed it. Not much to show yet. This one is molded in red plastic, so primer will be key. My dad's picture was in black & white, so I don't know the true color of his buddy's car, but it's dark, so this one will be a dark midnight blue. The wire wheels are from AMT's 32 5-window kit. The engine will be the flathead from the 29 kit. I resin cast the 32 grill shell, some heads and a manifold and stripped the chrome off the carbs. Not a whole lot of progress so far; mainly because a lot of the details are still up in the air.
