Monogram's Black Widow '27 RPU comes to life.

[Dennis Lacy]

For several years now a Southern California-based hot rod shop, Hollywood Hotrods, has been building a 1:1 replica of Monogram's old Black Widow - a 1927 Ford Roadster PU. The finished truck is going to be on display at this years Grand National Roadster Show, held in Pomona Ca on Jan. 24 - 25.

While perusing the H.A.M.B. hotrod message board tonight I came across a thread with teaser photos of the nearly finished truck. I thought you all would get a kick out of this as I'm sure there's many on this board that remember building this kit back in the day (I'm not one of them as I didn't come along till '79.)
