Monogram 1930 Woody banger hot rod.

Now it should be obvious that this model originated from the leftovers of my red coupe project but there was a slight twist.

I once scored most of the body parts of the woody kit in a job lot.  Someone had done a real nice job of woodgraining the body but painted the sheetmetal in a fetching ( retching?) shade of grass green that had attacked the plastic in places.  With a bit of sanding priming repeat procedures I got the plastic into a decent state, painting the fenders in Tamiya black and the cowl and hood in Light Tan.

The Kelsey Hayes wires would have been perfect but they had already been fitted to my Bud Bryan hiboy from a few years ago.  Instead I used AMT 34 Ford pickup wires and hubcaps on one side and AMT 40 Ford steelies on the other side.  Hey, I like ém both!

Running gear is mostly stock 30 coupe with an attitude adjustment plus the full hood.

Cheers

I like it. Realistically faded and varnish-peeling look to the wood, too.

I agree with Bill on the wood finish. Your paint colors are much better looking than the original builders' ideas. I like how you created your wheels on this. Maybe/almost looks like some sort of commercial livery might be in order?

I like two wheel choices, your attention to detail is excellent.
