Deuce Sedan "Old school but not same old same old"

[traditional]

Just finishing this chopped Deuce sedan and ,just to try something different, I used a handmade brass and aluminum suicide front suspension (ahead of the grill) and sprintcar style steering, as well as cycle fenders (lathe turned to look like the old spare tire cover style).

The engine hood is fabricated in brass with tiny hinges so that it will fold in typical deuce style. Engine is a '50s style tri carb Oldsmobile (detailed with wiring, hoses, linkages, and fuel lines) and the rear axle is also late-model with handmade aluminum transverse spring, shackles and shocks etc. Carpeting is felt and the paint is basecoat/clearcoat. The grille insert is from Model car garage used on a Revell deuce roadster grille-shell.  The radiator is fashioned in polished brass, and the door hinges are made from wire and aluminum tubing

Very cool build. The cycle fenders is something you don't see a lot, especially on the rear, but I really like it

[Codi]

Well done and cleanly executed.  A build to be proud of.  Cheers

Love the fenders, always wondered why more 1:1's don't run these. Excellent work, color is spot on.

A beautiful Deuce in all respects. You should consider a trip west in the summer and bring it to Deuce Days in Scale in Victoria July 24 - see link below.
