johnz Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 been a long time since my last post,I'm slow.this is the amt kit I wanted something like to tognotti's but with a little more power.I wanted a stock length hood so I had to set the engine back.I did not want the tires hanging out too much so I widened the back fenders and narrowed the rear end.I put it on air bags so it could be raised to a driveable hight,small block chev from revell, 9"ford rear from amt,added fuel,brake,air and oil lines tried to wire most everything,a lot of scratch built parts motor mounts,suspension mounts etc.many hours.Paint is duplicolor,chrom is airbrushed molotow hope you enjoy it,comments welcome good or bad,Thanks for looking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Great looking color and a very high level of detail on the engine and chassis. I like how your Windshield looks also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kit Karson Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Saw this on fb, John and was blown away! Very delicate subject matter and you enhanced all the right elements! The detail is above the average builder's attention and spot on for your roadster! Be a monster to handle... -KK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tim boyd Posted December 5, 2020 Share Posted December 5, 2020 Wow....what a ton of work it took to create this model. I also like that you were not a slave to current 1/1 scale hot rod build trends, thus yielding a very creative, yet totally killer result. Great paint finish, too. Big congrats....TIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 Wow. That's beautiful. Your attention to detail (and very nice photography!) results in a model that could appear to be the real thing at first glance. The gorgeous paint and jewel-like engine don't hurt, either! Saving these photos to my inspiration folder :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doorsovdoon Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 That's one fancy looking rod, very nice colour and the detailing looks spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
