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.

Both are great looking builds and. Like the paint work and colors. Did the Pin Stripes come in the kit as well?

The pinstripes on the red car came in the kit, the black car stripes are Gofer Racing decals.

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

Retirement has its benefits.  dehydrator also speeds up paint drying time.

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.

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.

Oh that's what the 3 dots are!  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.
