crossfire 2004 Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Just finished this one up while under house arrest, frame modified to include ‘40 centre x member, ‘48 rear end with Parts Box finned drums all round. Engine is the Ardun from the F1 truck kit.
Phildaupho Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Great looking hot rod over all. Well built. I like the fog light up front and those very cool rear tires.
Tom Geiger Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Very nicely done! Not over the top, quietly understated, and just perfect!
alan barton Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Stunningly realistic as evidenced by your beautiful photos. This car is right on the money for current trends. If I could respectively suggest two small items that would make it even better? Grab a small brush and add a touch of black paint to the bracket in between the four bars - this is almost always part of the chassis and therefore would not be chrome plated.. And add two straight pins for radiator support rods from the firewall to the radiator.. This will help highlight that beautiful Arden. I cant get over how perfectly draped your plug leads are! Cheers Alan
espo Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Beautiful looking Sedan. Besides the great looking subdued colors the Arden conversion engine just looks like it should.

Cheers Alan Alan, I must admit to having forgotten to paint the 4 bar brackets - it will be addressed immediately ! Re the firewall rods, there is only one centrally positioned hole in the radiator so a vee’d 2 into 1 is needed. I will get right on it.

carrucha Posted April 11, 2020 Posted April 11, 2020 Cool hotrod. Well built. I hope Revell reissues this kit again.
matthijsgrit Posted April 12, 2020 Posted April 12, 2020 Very nice build! Great use of colors and I really like the wheels. Time to grab some Rodder's Journals!! Cause that is where this car belongs if it weren't in scale (or they should do a scale section!!) .
Kit Karson Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 Everyone knows I am a shade-tree hot rodder... your deuce sedan is spot on, Bro! -KK
stavanzer Posted May 7, 2020 Posted May 7, 2020 What a perfect build. The Colour is perfect and the stance is spot on. As the others have said, right out of the Rodder's Journal.
PARTS GUY Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) Great looking sedan. My friend Jimmy had a real one that color years ago that was that color. Well done. Edited May 8, 2020 by PARTS GUY
alan barton Posted May 8, 2020 Posted May 8, 2020 Those additional touches make it perfect now! Cheers Alan
