1931 Cord L29 Speedster

[Pico]

I will soon be fulfilling a long-time obsession...

[Pico]

That's not too many supports. I want everything to form perfectly.

[Kanada Kustoms]

Cool project!

[NerdmanB]

I will be watching this. The L29 is an awesome car.

[TopherMcGinnis]

These are absolutely one of my favorite cars. Cool project!

[Pico]

It's time to go to work.

Here are images of the car after the New York Auto Show in January 1931. I'm diggin' those Woodlites!

That front wheel drive pushes the engine beyond the firewall, into the driver's compartment.

A V8 would have been a better choice for this car. Fatter but shorter (and probably lighter). But designers, for various reasons, not always follow common sense. So we modelers have no choice...

[Ace-Garageguy]

Always a pleasure to see your work sir.  

----------------------------------------------

For those who don't know: Pico was one of the early adopters of 3D printing for model cars, and I've been fortunate to see his work in person for years, through the ACME club here.

He's done quite a good sized body of 3D-printed work, important cars that have never been kitted, designing his own files and even, IIRC, building his own printer in the beginning.

He's also always been very forthcoming about sharing the knowledge he's accumulated through experience and experimentation.

Thanks for your kind words, Ace.

Primer and sanding. A tire in front, showing the intrusion for the whitewall.

[Zippi]

Nice looking print there Pico.  Love those fat fenders.
