Love it! Do you have any straight-on pictures of the front end? I want to see the headlight bar situation. I'm building a few 32s and want to get some ideas for the headlight bar.

I'll snap some pix and post.... -RRR

It was definitely worth revisiting this project and pushing it through. I was bummed when you boxed it. Turned out really cool. Like others have said the Baskerville inspiration is unmistakably there without being a full-on copy. Nice top!

And not to brag (?) but I’ve actually worked on and driven the real deal. Here it is at the shop. ?

Hi Sir!

Well done, Mr. Baskerville would approve, and drive-away in it!

Really nice Deuce, I like the colour matching of the wheels and grill. Well done RRR.

Cheers,

Beautiful Roadster!

Really sharp looking.

that rodney is reet!

Cool hot rod.  Nice to a full fendered 1932 Ford roadster.

This really turned out sweet Rodney. I like how you replicated the wheels and tires along with the detailing. I know this one gave you some fits (no pun intended) along the way but you ironed this one out very well.

You definitely pulled off the subtly worn daily driver look. Only those that are very familiar with the Revell 32 series can probably tell all the changes you've made, and all to great effect. Well done.

Absolutely great build, albeit it needs more dents and dings

Yeah, I was contemplating that. I was goings to try some subtle heat to the drivers side of the seat to see if I could get it to look like the springs were sagging, but you only get one chance to get it right, so I chicken doubt. -RRR

I always appreciate your kind words, Craig.... -RRR

Bookmarking this because it is just so right on perfect. All kinds of gotcha!

I don't know how I missed this one, but I'm glad bubbled back to the top. This just about the coolest full-fendered roadster I've ever seen in scale. Man, that thing looks good! And though not a replica, a lovely tribute to Gray's ride. I dig it!

Gorgeous build and a fine tribute.
