Model A High Boy on Duece rails

[jdcar32]

An older build I thought I'd share. The body is a resin item of unknown origin with a visor and opened doors added. The door panels and head liner are styrene sheet with scribed pleats. The motor is a parts pack Caddy. Dash is from the '48 Merc Woodie kit. Paint is Tamiya gloss black. Frame is from one the iconic Revell duece kits.

Very cool old school hotrod. This is how they built them, with what ever was at hand. Great detail, I especially like your clutch, brake and throttle set-up. Really well done Jon.

A superb old timey rod. There is a lot to like here and you have done a lot more work than you have said in your brief description. And all of it good too.

Great looking Street Rod. Like the way you did the interior and dash. The painted engine with the minimal chrome trim looks good.

Your icon shows a Chrysler product 340 and I can relate. I bought a brand new 1973 340 Duster, red with black gut, fold down rear seat, I put a B&M shift kit in it and had a super tune done at Mr. Norm's in Chicago. And of course I wish like hell I still had it !
