mrm Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 So I finally took some pictures of the model, altho it was finished about a year ago. A quick recap: The chassis uses stretched frame rails from the Revell's '32 3 window. All the cross members, other than the most forward one were scratch built. The fenders were stretched and the step panels filled. The front part of the body uses part of Revell's Dan Fink Speed Wagon and the rear part is very modified rear section of the Boothill express. Front and rear suspension has the main parts of the Revell '32 kit. everything else is pretty much scratch built, aftermarket or very modified.

62rebel Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 i usually refrain from excessive compliments on a build... but not this one. great work! that is a cool well thought out execution. i think i can even hear the funeral march being played...
thatz4u Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I dig this one, looks layed out well. Like the streched out look, glad you decided to undertake this project.
cobraman Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nice ! I would ride in it. Just not in the back please. : )
mrm Posted May 28, 2015 Author Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the great comments guys. Here are a couple more pictures with the side hoods. Edited May 28, 2015 by mrm
slusher Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Great combination of class and hotrod. I would not want a ride front or back..
DeeCee Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Nicely stretched and very well thought out. GREAT looking build.
Phildaupho Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 Great job on one of the most inventive Deuce models of all time.
djflyer Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I dig this one, looks layed out well. Like the streched out look, glad you decided to undertake this project. corpus delecti. Very cool build - especially like the logos on the clear back panels. Is that painted or decal? Not sure, but it might even look better without the side hoods.
Earl Marischal Posted May 28, 2015 Posted May 28, 2015 I would be more than happy to make my last ride in that. Excellent and imaginative work. steve
