Great work, perfect stance. Thanks also for answering the various questions. Any hints on how you cut out the hood for air cleaners, looks terrific.

Cheers Misha

Thanx! I basically just set the hood on top of the breathers, guessed where they were underneath, marked it, cut two slots with a dremel and router bit, trimmed and filed until it fit. I actually did the hood after it was finished. It's one of my favorite features on this build.

Looks good Rodger. Nice color combo.

Superb hot rod!  I just ordered a 2022 reissue and am looking to do something similar.  It will really push my skill set.

An excellent job Roger.

I like how the sweep of the headers matches the sweep of the cowl. Your eyes are just drawn to this feature. Top chop is spot on.

That is a super looking old school Hot Rod Roger.  Really nice job.  I have the new release of the 37 but probably won't tackle what you did.

Thanx Bill! You're the first one to catch that little detail. It took a bit of work to do it. But, the effort was worth it to me.

I was admiring the header sweep, too, and have seen similar treatment on 1:1 examples.  Combined with the modified firewall, it makes this 37 every bit as clean and integrated a design as any Deuce I've seen, scale or 1:1.  My 37 reissue should arrive tomorrow.  I have a separate thread going

Great model, love the colors and stance, great ideas for the look!

Wicked stance, and although I'm generally not a fan of white cars, that ivory looks proper here, especially as a ground for the red accents. Excellent choices! Another winner.

[bluestringer]

That is a beautiful build. Great work.

[MeatMan]

Sweet build!

Well engineered Roger. It pays homage to the early custom rods of the 50s and 60s.??

Fantastic build.

Great looking hot rod!
