Biscuitbuilder Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 are those brass hinges? any other details? Yup, those are working brass hinges! They are model RR items, scale "barn door" strap hinges, that I get here locally at a huge RR shop--they are very nearly to scale, work great. I discovered these hinges probably about 30 years ago, have used them several times on various cars over the years. Biscuitbuilder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodBurNeR Posted September 3, 2006 Share Posted September 3, 2006 what scale is this thing? i think you need to hurry up and finish it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biscuitbuilder Posted September 3, 2006 Author Share Posted September 3, 2006 what scale is this thing? i think you need to hurry up and finish it! 1:25 scale. Chassis is Revell '29 A Rat Rod, body is modified AMT '29 A roadster, with a lot of the body moldings replaced by strip styrene, and opening doors. The firewall and front of the gas tank are reworked with strip styrene to correct stock appearance--no need back then to punch clearance depressions into these panels, as a flathead Ford V8 will fit just fine in the same space as the 4-cylinder did.
