The Hinman roadster, a study in rust.

[Bullybeef]

Well I’m happy to say that this one is finally complete enough to show. If you followed the build thread you will see the progress of converting the amt 29 roadster to a 31 roadster. There was an enormous amount of scratch building (the entire interior) I really stretched my building abilities with this one. 
it will acquire a special place in my cabinets, amongst the other 1:1 replicas I’ve made.

Thanks for the support and encouragement along the way. As usual all comments are welcome.

Enjoyed watching this come together. Interesting how much effort goes into a finish like this compared to a shiny build sometime. Hard to tell the model from the picture with the same settings.

Thank you David, it was a fun and challenging build.

I think you absolutely nailed the essence of the full scale car. Killer work on the weathering! 

You should send pictures to the cars caretaker, Eli English. I bet he’d love it!

This is definitely one of my favorite builds recently. I really dig how far the engine is set back. A lot of traditional rods getting done just now. It's great to see.

Thank you Dennis, it was fun to flex a different and (rusty) set of skills. It was extremely helpful that this car has had a lot of internet coverage so matching up details was a lot more rewarding. I imagine that the current caretaker would like to see this but I’m not forward enough to contact a stranger and show this off. But if you know the gentleman please feel free to send them.

Thank you, i agree it’s great to see a lot of traditional hot rods on the forum. I’ll do my best to keep adding as many as I can.
