It have the 32 Ford grille, but not mention in the instruction ! Salut Gilles, Thanks for this important update. I saw your post on Koolest Kruisers (top flight French auto modeler's forum with some of the finest builders you can hope to see) where you remind us that although it includes the Deuce grill, the motor and wheels have been swapped between the ' 29 Roadster and the '30 Coupe kits since the original releases. This means no Halibrand mag wheels in this kit, correct? And of course the motor is a Buick Nailhead with Hilborn injectors as the high power option instead of a GMC blower and dual 4 barrel carbs.

oldrevellfan Posted September 8, 2021 Share Posted September 8, 2021 Your right Bernard, no hallibrand wheels, for the coupe, you have to buy the 29 roadster to have them. The motor is also the buick nailhead. Tim, I was hope full to order one by my hobby shop as soon as I have the kit number, it can not been order from the web site in Europe neither yet. Sorry, I didn't plan to ship some to US the cost of the package should value around 50 $ . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, I hope we do see good distribution of the Coupe here, after all the time builders have waited to get their hands on these kits.

CabDriver Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 I haven't really had any trouble building up a stash of the 29s (got 10 plus in the stash now) so hopefully this kit is in similarly plentiful supply too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crossfire 2004 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I’ve just ordered the 2 remaining kits from a French supplier for a very reasonable €66 including shipping to the U.K., absolutely no idea if or when they will arrive, but it’s great to get the drop on you guys in the states occasionally.
