Nice looking metal effects on the exhaust and underpans.

Looks nice, the engine sits in the frame real good.

thanks Ace, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

[Bronzekeg]

rear end has been raised a strong 1/8 inch to get it off the frame. the rear shocks needed lengthened also. I don't have pictures but the front axle assembly was built up out of the box. the drum brakes are also out of the box. I'll put the exhaust tips on after the body has been mounted.

[Bronzekeg]

a quick mock-up with the body in place shows that out of the box the car sits level. raising the rear gave me the rake I was looking for. that is not the wheel and tire combo that it is going to get. the keystone mags and whitewalls are too bright and take your focus away from the engine and body. for my taste anyway.

[Mr. Metallic]

That body color just POPS!

thank you Craig, I like it.

I finally decided on the wheel tire combo. the fronts are from the 29 roadster kit and the rears spares box and parts pack.

[Bronzekeg]

I also got the firewall mounted along with the radiator, pedals and shifter

[Mr. Metallic]

Killer wheel/tire combo. Stance looks right on.

I 100% agree. These 2 kits go along amazingly.

thanks Ace! they do work well together.

[Bronzekeg]

interior was done up out of the box using krylon off white and testors matt rubber. steering wheel still to do. instrument cluster was sprayed with testors dull coat.

[Chris B]

Killer color. outstanding work

[Bronzekeg]

after a test fit the body was mounted on the chassis.

[SpikeSchumacher]

Sweet!

[David G.]

The wheels, stance and details are all fabulous Ken!

I wasn't sure I agreed with your choice not to use the whitewall slicks but seeing the car with the blackwalls, I think you made the right call.
