29 Model A 823c

[502]

I'm calling this one done and I am really happy with how it turned out. This car has fought me the whole way, seems like its been one problem after another.

One of my top 10 favorite hot-rod models to date. They just don't often get it as right as this. Sweet.

Great job! You nailed the Rolling Bones style!

It turned out really well. No wonder you're pleased, despite the lumps and bumps along the way. The stance, or course, is what, over time, will make this model stand out. It should be a reference for anyone trying to remedy the dreadful "sit" of the Revell kit original. Naturally, we all can't help but be impressed by the up-top and the Y-block, both powerful style elements that are sure to please. But to me the hood and side panels, and their excellent fit, are worthy of special notice - it's no simple matter when adapting a deuce hood to an A-V8. I'll need to go back to the w.i.p. to see how you cut the hood in particular to get the width to match correctly at the cowl. Also the louver job on the hood is definitely non-trivial (and a cause once more to ask why this sort of piece isn't available in the aftermarket...) and adds tremendously to the total look. And finally, the weathering which, as already noted, is so true to the Rolling Bones style, looked a bit raw in the w.i.p. photos but has now settled in and is all tied in nicely to the total appearance and works a treat! Bravo!

Excellent build.  Looks perfect!

[Foxer]

This looks just right!

[JTalmage]

Wow. Beautiful work. I'm pretty sure I know the style I'll be building my '29.... something similar to this. It's just sooo right.

• One final problem.....shipping it to my place!

NO problem at all as it's closer and cheaper to ship it to my house. While I'm a big fan of shiney, you did an excellent job on that roadster Justin as it looks so right.

Love the engine.

I like the build style. I agree with Tulio, it's nice to see a Ford in a Ford once in a while. Did the manifold and carbs come from Harts Parts ?

[Roger U]

That is a beautifully built model.

[vintagercr]

Very nice build!

Thanks for the comments, glad you like it.

I made the intake from the stock one that comes with the revell 57 ford. The carbs are from the revell parts pack Cadillac engine. 

Also the louver job on the hood is definitely non-trivial (and a cause once more to ask why this sort of piece isn't available in the aftermarket...) and adds tremendously to the total look.

I've said this numerous times myself, can't believe there isn't any aftermarket louvered hoods. I'm surprised revell never offered a louvered hood in their 32 kits.

Wicked! Best build of Revell’s ‘29 that I’ve seen yet! Well done, sir.

I think you definitely won the battle, outstanding piece of modeling!

[Phildaupho]

With each photo as I scan down my attraction to this model increases. Very well done.

[curb]

Wow!  That's a great build...!  Do you have a link to the WIP?  Also  Rev. does have the Louvered trunk lid in the '32 5 window kit # 85-4228

Super nice period perfect build. Weathering is just right, not overdone.
