Silvercreeker Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 Just over 2 weeks to build these two Model A’s at the same time. Same kits, different versions, Red is built normal with. 283 Chevy, black is built channeled with an aftermarket 354 Cadillac motor. Custom shifters, license plates, pinstripes and fully plumbed motors. Fun little hot rods. 8
espo Posted February 12, 2023 Posted February 12, 2023 Both are great looking builds and. Like the paint work and colors. Did the Pin Stripes come in the kit as well?

TooOld Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 Great job Scott , that's a great looking pair ! I couldn't build one in two weeks , two would take me a couple months !

Kenmojr Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Two fine examples of an traditional styled American hot rod, perfect for H.A.M.B. and The Rodder's Journal crowd. 1
89AKurt Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Nice job on those! I'm building the kit at the moment, making it as difficult as possible. ? I noticed the blue dots. You paint the white walls? Also noticed the brace rods over the engine. How did you glue the wheels on the brake drums, seems like no positive connection.
Flatout Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Two very cool Hot Rods…love the channeled car with the caddy engine?
Slotto Posted February 14, 2023 Posted February 14, 2023 Nice pair. Great paint and attention to details

The blue dots are paint, did not like the decals for them in the kit. The whitewalls are the decals from the kit with Vallejo Satin airbrushed over them. The brace rods are polished piano wire with ProTech nuts on both ends. The wheels are weird. I ground down the inner wheel a bit and let the lug nuts seat in the rim. I used a square to ensure the wheels were vertical on the car while the superglue set. 1

Great job on the sidewalls, with the curve of the tire no less. I was planning to grind down the wheel center so it won't grind the steel pin. Thanks for the reply.
Doug 1061 Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Superb job there. They are both beautiful, that black car looks sinister. No way could I build them in 2 weeks.
