DWNW Deuce Roadster

[TooOld]

Another "Deal's Wheels Never Was" . . . this one inspire by Dave Deal's original artwork , I finished it a couple of months ago after it sat unfinished for six year's . It's based on a Monogram shortened body/frame and has fabricated headers/engine , front and rear suspension , and wheels . Other bits and pieces are from the Monogram kit and my parts box .

The biggest hurdle was coming up with a driver and is one of the reasons it got shelved many years ago . I finally settled on modifying a Deal's Wheels head and creating the body using Apoxie Sculpt .

Paint is Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red and TS-13 Clear .

A fun and very long build . I hope you like it !

Here's the Dave Deal artwork that inspired it . . .

How The?

Never mind. You pull this stuff off with casual aplomb Bob. No more words.

You realize a kit could be made of this right? It would sell too!

Thanks very much Bob !  Not so casual with this one . . . it was in and out of the box half a dozen times over 6 or 7 years .  I'd try doing a little bit , give up , and put it back in the box .  And yes it would have sold very well !  Dave Deal had several kits drawn and submitted that were never produced .

[Dragline]

I know the feeling of putting a build back into the box several times over the course of years. Glad you persevered.

A fun and great looking creation! Glad you kept it going to the finish so that we can enjoy  it. Nice work!
