Hot Rod Hints Chapter Three Now Available For Your Review and Building Enjoyment....

[tim boyd]

...this episode of Hot Rod Hints is a nice compliment to the article showing how to build a highly traditional Model A-framed Roadster Highboy in the new Model Cars mag issue #203.and the article on building and kitbashing the '30 A Five Window Coupe highboy version in the new April Issue of the other model car magazine.  

Just like building a full scale hot rod, it is often the fine details that make a large difference in the impact of your finished hot rod model. In this chapter, we’ll demonstrate some of the finer points of building a model hot rod, touching on firewalls, windshield frames, and more on the subject of proper placement of the radiator/assembly.

Check it out the articles in the magazines and Chapter Three at the link below....and be watching for Hot Rod Hints Chapter Four....available in a couple of weeks from now. 
Thanks for looking....and hope this inspires you to build a new hot rod model or two. Here's the link.     TIM

Great information. I have a question on the green coupe. The one photo shows a glimpse of the tuck and roll interior. Was this the kits interior or what did you use  ??

David.....it's the highboy version interior from the Revell '30 A Five Window Coupe kit, built straight from the box with paint detail only.   

Michael, Jon, James and Jeff:  Thanks for the feedback, as always, very much appreciated   TIM

Thanks Tim!

Great tips for those builders who can see the difference between a kit-stock car and a carefully tweaked version, but don't quite know how replicate the magic!
