customline Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 (edited) I'm totally digging this. This roadster is a perfect period piece....And yeah, I read all of Felsen's books that i could find in my middle school library. I think it's pathological 🥴.

Richard Bartrop Posted December 14, 2023 Author Share Posted December 14, 2023 I got the gauges printed up on clear stock. I figured I might as well print a whole sheet full of them, so now I have a lifetime supply of '50s vintage Stewart Warner gauges. I also flipped the image so the shiny side faces outward. And here they are with the backs painted white, and installed in the dash. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rattlecan Dan Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Very nice looking. Has a real stretched look to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David G. Posted December 14, 2023 Share Posted December 14, 2023 Great idea getting the gauges printed like that. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny thing, that's just the frame from the Revell kit. I changed the rear to a leaf spring setup, but everything is the same length.
