I love this kit. One of my all time favorite models.

Neat!  I have to find one of these to go with the coupe and roadster.

The roadster? I didn't know there was a 30 or 31 Ford roadster out there. What kit did you use? Any photos?

It would be nice if Revell/Monogram could reissue both this the coupe again. It's been to many years since we've seen these two very nice kits.

I guess the roadster is a '29.  Got this one on the bench right now.

Of course you can also take the coupe kit and the touring car street rod and combine them into a stock touring car like this:

Nice build! Yep, the original issue of that kit could be built stock. Then the was the Red Chariot rod only issue, and a stock only issue. The kit was updated in the 1970s for the Early Iron series with a new smallblock Chevy and the stock build parts gone permanently. The more recent 2000s issue has a bunch of modern day street rod parts in it, and they redid the dash. So if you want to do a stock kit bash, you'll have to dig back to the Early Iron issue. (Fortunately they are common and cheap.)

I have the Early Iron Issue and the 2000's update. I have the Matching Coupe set aside for just this build. I need to get it done. Both of these look great.

Except that Monogram NEVER kitted a stock Model A Roadster of any year!   You may be confusing the Cabriolet (subject of this thread) when it's been photographed with the top in the folded position.
