John B. Posted July 5, 2022 Posted July 5, 2022 If Wes Hofferber is building it, its going to be more than special! 1
Dennis Lacy Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 It looks righteous finally sitting on its axles front and rear and with the brake and steering arm detail present. Stance is on money!!! 1
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted July 7, 2022 Posted July 7, 2022 Ha! ADL took word right out of my mouth. Righteous... -RRR 2
Kit Karson Posted July 9, 2022 Author Posted July 9, 2022 Things you won't see when the '29 TNR is fully assembled: neodymium micro magnets attach the frame to the belly pan Trans X-Member neodymium micro magnets align the trans adaptor to the TKO500 1
Kit Karson Posted July 15, 2022 Author Posted July 15, 2022 Here she rests giving thought to the next major process'... 5W Deuce Louvered Trunk Lid will replace the '29's Stock Deck Lid... Already plugged the rear panel... But, it's what's coming up front that will be the biggest test of the former construction! -KK 1
Jantrix Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Looking good KK, I dig it! Nice use of the magnets. 1
slusher Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Really nice progress, car is great since the last time I checked it out! 1
Paul Payne Posted July 15, 2022 Posted July 15, 2022 Make sure this one gets into the Model A thread! 1

Paul Payne Posted July 16, 2022 Posted July 16, 2022 There is a thread in under glass for everyone's Model A builds. 1
Scott Colmer Posted July 17, 2022 Posted July 17, 2022 I hope you have a see through grill to show off the front mount blower. It would be a nice easter egg. Great stuff so far! 1

We need an update!!! ? -RRR Been noodling the tail end of the '29 TNR's belly pan... Pierson Bros Coupe came up in a conversation with @Dennis Lacy& @Rocking Rodney Rat with regards of evacuating the heat trapped inside of the belly pan... Had planned on something along the lines of a winged heat diffuser instead of a roll pan that wouldn't help relieving the hot air flow: Following the same plan as the belly pan... Liked the fit of the leftover Revell '32 Orange Crate Belly Pan piece backed up to the same piece used in the '29 TNR's belly pan... Had to see these parts married together... Let's see how this might look like flipped over... Has potential... I've held on to another idea for quite some time now as to how to finish the skirts on either side of the differential cover! We'll go there next time.. -KK 1
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted July 26, 2022 Posted July 26, 2022 Interesting...let's see some more... -RRR
Kit Karson Posted July 27, 2022 Author Posted July 27, 2022 I know that these Monogram '37 Ford Inner Fenders are available in white styrene, but until a pair kan be located, here's my idea: Placing the louvers inside out in the tail of the belly pan to further add to eliminating heat inside the belly pan might look like this: Or, maybe like this: We'll see... 1
Kit Karson Posted July 28, 2022 Author Posted July 28, 2022 While looking for a pair of REVELL 1937 FORD SEDAN inner fenders in white, went ahead and carved out what will be heat removing louvers at the aft end of the '29 TNR's belly pan: @Dennis Lacy& @Rocking Rodney Ratcaught up with me this morning, yep, they live on opposite sides of the continent yet with their help the white inner fenders were located! Thanks, guys!! Be here the first of the month! -KK 1
