My focus this year, to a point, will be to finish a whole bunch of almost-completes. Nice job on this, Tim, and I really like that color.

They were originally intended for a mag article on how to adapt different bodies to the Revell Model A Roadster/Coupe kit frames.

Bumping an old thread here, I know Tim…but did this article idea ever see the light of day?

. . .  everyone of us enjoys model building on different terms. for different reasons, and in different ways. . . . he enjoys his projects and shows unbelievable talent. . . 

. . .  modeling on their own terms . . .

oft times this is a hard message to get across.  some equate mere quantity with enjoyment. 

some just want to "do a poppa-wheelie."

Totally grooving on this - and it would definitely be a Harb's Hobby Finalist for sure. 

Getting closure on a long stalled project is one of the great feelings in the hobby.

To review, though: is this the original 25T chassis?  

Love, love, love the idea of repurposing the early hemi for this, although I would keep a fire extinguisher handy for when a float sticks in one of those old Teapots.

Hi Jim....yes it did IIRC.  It became a cover article in MCM a couple of years back (look in the upper right corner of the mag cover) and this was the finished project....thanks for asking!  TIM
