Dave Darby Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Absolutely gorgeous. Bonus that the 5 window coupe has the correct door length for the roadster. Great job on a not easy to build kit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 At the risk of repeating what everyone else said, what a stunning example of a 36 roadster! So much to like. The hood treatment is very interesting and has given me ideas for my full sized custom 35 Phaeton - thank you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pass side coupe door cut was filled and I scribed the roadster cut. Thank you for commenting. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John The 5 window coupe door is the correct length for a real 1:1 roadster. The AMT roadster doors are too long, as they share the door length with the 3 window coupe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my story and I'm sticking to it. LOL Going forward, it will be interesting to see who does/does not notice. Thank you.....I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
