GSL-XXVIII COMMON KIT BUILD '29 Altered Swinger Roadster

COMMON KIT CLASS:
The Common Kit for GSL-XXVIII is the Revell 1929 Ford Model A Roadster (kit #RMX854463). The intent of this Class is for each entrant to start with the same kit, then display their widest array of individual creativity, craftsmanship, building skills, and technical innovations. The entrant may build the entry in any style or vintage. Regardless, all entered models must be based upon the parts from this kit. Entrants may also: i) swap parts from any other kit(s); ii) use any aftermarket parts (except for complete aftermarket resin bodies); and iii) use any building materials, techniques or technologies without restriction.

This body shell (Altered Swinger) has just recently traded hands, 
originally ran by Eugene, Oregon racer Stan Wilson in the late 60's into the early 70's...

...current owner Josh Higgins.

May not duplicate it to the nth degree, but even the dolly might be a fun addition... let alone the grass underneath! -KK
