   Thanks Mark and Kerry, I am at a point

where my tastes are leaning toward the

long version of the grill and shell.

   I have a few picks that show what I'm

shooting for on this one.

   And I have a bit more done with the

interior also!!

      Seeing as this about exactly a year since I have done

anything with this build.

      Maybe my digging this out is like some sort of a

"Omen" telling me that I can maybe do something with

this kit once again!!

    Hopefully I can get some paint on it before it snows

here, or something like that!?!

    I am close to re-thinking the motor choice on

this build now.

  Well at a Fleet Farm store in our area I found a

model kit for $15.00, it was the '50 Ford (Trucks)

kit by Revell.

   But the most interesting part was the Flathead

motor with Ardun heads and 3 nuts!

  Also though, is the fact that I want these heads

and parts for other builds. So I think I'm going to

have to learn how to resin cast small parts.

Three "Nuts" ? Got a " dizzy" too.

    I guess nobody uses that one anymore, huh Greg!?!

It used to be, "Do you have the 3 nuts on that Goat, or

is it the Rochester(Carter?) 4 barrel?"

   HotRod terminology is fun, right!?!?   I could start a

thread for just that, and see where it goes?

Do it. I think it could be hilarious, and informative.

 

Ohhh, liking that long hood too.

[mod3l Lover]

    Thanks Jason!  I think it will look good once

I get the body lower and the grill a little shorter.

   Then that gap between the frame and the

hood sides will look better!!

[mod3l Lover]

    I just dug this one out again, and I have been

thinking that I really want to build this car!!?!!

  So I'm commenting mostly to bump it up, and

then maybe I will find it faster.

I want to bring this one back, since I have now returned from

what feels like the "Land of the Dead".

My comment here right now is so I might find it again soon!!

Just for you David 

[mod3l Lover]

  Yeah, those are kool, right!?!  They are the mock ups from Revell that were from

2015. Before they released the kit in 2016!  Such a sad memory really!!

  I have only 1 of the Revell '30 Ford coupe kits, my plan was to grab a few, . . . . but!!!

Brad (Squirrel) posted them for me on this thread, somewhere back there!?!?

  Thanks for reminding me how neat they are Greg!!!  A great Hot Rod kit builder on a

another forum bought one or both of them from the gentleman who had them.
