Excellent, comme toujours mon ami. The seats look so real. Great use of old parts . that color is really nice , fits it to a T.

Merci Mario!

You are right: that old 1928 Chrysler kit (AMT, but née MPC) has such realistic "crumpled leather" seats!

You have accomplished something very difficult here, Claude.... You successfully managed to blend traditional and 21st century rodding queues, beautifully and cohesively.

The real thing would be a star at SEMA or the Grand National Roadster Show.

Nice 32, well done,...kool also......your parts bin must be huge...

Hi Al!

Now that you asked. I made the count! My stash contains 99 new (complete) kits, and 60 who have been raided for various parts, that I call "donor" kits. My junkyard of sorts...

That's a good looking 32 Roadster there Claude.  That interior looks like real leather.  Nice build.    

Thanks Bob!

The realism of the seat surface prompted me to invest more time in the rest of the interior. Happy that it turned out satisfactory.

Thanks Marty!

Lately, most high-profile "magazine cars" are of the resto-rod or nostalgia variety. I prefer the more contemporary treatment. I had 1/1 rods back in the 70's, and the archaic design of those pushed me to try to improve things whenever I could.

I guess my models reflect that LOL.
