Dennis...this model is a poster child for the "period attention to detail" school of model car building that I respect so much.  Very innovative approach to the frame and suspension.  Love the fine engine detail.  And as Alan says, "Pink is the new Black", at least in our world of period hot rods!  Congrats on another great addition to the Lacy hot rod model collection.   TIM 

Thanks so much, Tim! Your comments always mean a bunch to me. And I don’t think I’ll get in the habit of painting my hot rods pink but it seems to have worked out well on this one.

Dennis, what a sweet little hot rod! Especially love the Riley! I never got the coupe, during its short existence. I don't recall if the next version planned. is to include it, but, I hope so! Very cool project!

Thanks! The Riley Model A engine is found in Revell’s 1931 Ford kits - Sedan, Sedan Delivery and Woody. The ‘30 Coupe (sister kit tooling to the ‘29 Roadster I started with) will have a Buick Nailhead when it comes back out.

Sweet hotrod.  Excellent job making all of the parts from different kits work well together.

Thank you! It takes a bit of work to get all these different pieces blended together for seamless appearance and I don’t always feel 100% successful but I think this one worked out well.
