Rat removed from the Roaster: '32 roadster

[Rocking Rodney Rat]

Most of the build is from the Revell Stacy David's Rat Roaster '32 roadster kit. I removed all the 'Rat Roaster' identifying parts and added parts from several kits (mainly other Revell '32 kits). Paint is Testors Mythical Maroon and Tamiya Metallic Black. -RRR

Top notch as usual. Great looking build.

Oh that car is sweet !  I like it a lot, very cool.

WOW....what a good looking souped up old school Hot Rod.  That color fits just right and those rear fenders look so kewl.  Nice detail work.  It just looks so clean.

SIMPLY

Looks great!

[NOBLNG]

That turned out great! I love the colour and all the details like the new headlight mounts.

[Paul Payne]

Great build, love the colors! Plenty of mix and match parts in both the deuce and A kits!

I like how you picked just the right parts from the other kits for your build. Great looking paint finish. The rear fenders would make a lot of sense in 1:1 for body protection and they do look good. Great looking engine and chassis detailing.

Gorgeous Roadster. Everything just looks right. Nice mix & match of parts, and a row of carburetors is always cool. Very nicely done.

Came out great!  Really like that color!

[TarheelRick]

Sweet roadster.  As others have stated, your selection of parts has put together a mighty fine little hot rod.

[Dan Hay]

Really sharp lookin' little Deuce!

[Claude Thibodeau]

Hi Sir!

Makes for a beautiful period-correct rod, with a perfect stance at that... Bravo!

Pretty cool looking.

Nice work!

Thanks for the kind comments, all. I was looking for a car to use the spark arrestor air cleaners made by Norm Veber of Reps and Mins of MD. They fit nicely on those Rochester carbs from the Revell '29 roadster. -RRR

Man that's nice RRR! That side shot is just about perfect ?

[thatz4u]

Much better than the green version....

Great rod in an awesome paint job. I like the exhaust pipes.

[Dennis Lacy]

Your Un-Ratted Roadster turned out beautiful, RRR. You kit-bashed it into something that I would actually want to be seen in! ? I especially like the headlight bar. The paint turned out awesome, too. Looks like I could dip my finger in it!

[bobthehobbyguy]

Nicely done. 

[crossfire 2004]

Fantastic build, wouldn’t change a thing on that beauty.

Can you post a picture of straight on the front so I can see what the headlight bar looks like?

There are some in progress pix on the WIP thread that show how the bar was constructed. -RRR
