Flatout Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 AMT 1929 Roadster body and grill on a AMT 32 Ford frame. The flat head is from the AMT 32 Ford Vicky kit, the heads and intake manifold are from the AMT 1950 Ford Convertible, and the carbs/air horns are from the Revell Tweety Pie. Wheels are from the Revell 32 Ford 5 window, rear tires from the Revell 41 Chevy Truck and not sure what kit the front tires are from. Paint is Tamiya TS-14 Black.

Plowboy Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Very well done hot rod Pete! Just goes to show what capable hands can do with an old AMT kit and a few parts! Excellent looking model! I would take this rendition over the Revell kit any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Very neat, very classy. Nicely done :) Just goes to show how much can be achieved with old AMT parts! Those front tires are from the Revell Orange Crate kit, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Roger...I agree, I’ve always thought the AMT 29 body looked better than the Revell. 19 hours ago, Spex84 said: Very neat, very classy.

gman Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Excellent period build, with a number of great touches (flathead + period speed parts, '40 steering wheel, glass packs, minimalist chrome). I love the look of the finished product- nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Nice work - you have shown to everyone that despite its age, the AMT Model A is still a pretty good kit that has passed the test of time. I like the Revell also, they both have their pluses and minuses. I particularly enjoyed the photo with the top up - that takes it right back to the fifties!

Flat32 Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) That is an accurate representation of a hot rod almost any industrious teenage gearhead could build on a gas station part time job budget in the late forties to early fifties. Glory years for the Ford Flathead V8. And they were quick. Pure fun to drive.? I often wonder how many were built back then. No John, a funny car is Not a Hot Rod.
