Dual Cowl Roadster..final update before the final

[Peter Lombardo]

Curt, that is going to be wild....I love the brute power idea of the Allison engine. I can't wait to see this as it nears completion. Are you going with the Electric Blue color or something more subtle? Regardless, it should be pretty neat.

With the long nose, the Allison seemed like a good fit, but dang...that engine is long!

Not going with a blue color...trying not to confuse it with a Bugatti - just getting a few ideas from their design

got my eyes set on a nice metallic green, a color I very rarely use

That's gonna be wild, Curt. Gotta keep watching your progress. My dual cowl is still in the box because I haven't the slightest idea on where to start.

Speaking of the Bugatti Atlantic, Peter, could you duplicate the body shell from a Bburago 1/24 diecast metal kit?

I love what you guys are doing with these projects. Curt the Allison is a fantastic idea. The frame work looks great. I can't wait to see it come together.

Don't worry Jim, the inspiration will hit you when you least expect it...you will figure it out!

Skip, I will look into it. If I can do it, I will do it.

I will be happy to mail you the kit with return postage if you're interested in looking at it. The biggest problem with the kit is the diecast body, which needs a lot of work that can't easily be done with metal, such as cutting the hood panels for folding over, and opening up the side mesh on the hood. With a Franklin Mint Atalante as a donor car, this can be killer. Please PM me at sjordan47@comcast.net if you're interested.

I like where you're going with your Art Deco Curt, but get your own thread!
