Revell Model A coupe - lowered a little

[Sixties Sam]

Hey, all, I got the new Revell Model A coupe and decided to build the channeled version, but sitting a little lower. I Z-ed the front of the frame and deepened the Z in the rear about 5 scale inches. It's coming along, and I like the look. Wheels will be red steelies with dog dishes and whitewalls. I made a new firewall because Z-ing the frame moved the engine up and back a bit. Bomber seats were drilled out and I made vinyl seat cushions for them. Here's the frame before and after the mods, and a mockup with the body on. This is a great kit!

Looking great Sam.....

Right on, it's lookin' tough!

This is indeed a great kit, and a more pronounced frame Z is just what it needs. Out of the box it sits pretty high!

    That looks great Sam!  The charcoal color

looks just right on that car.

  Does that kit come with just the one top

insert piece? I have been wondering about

that for a while now.

Yes, there's just the one top insert, and it's smooth, not textured like cloth.

    Thanks Sam, just wondered if maybe they

added a cool custom version.
