It would take me at least a month.

Good to see the Lincoln V12 going to good use! And it looks like you're going to beat me to building my Renault Vivastella hot rod!

Great concept. I'll be following along for sure. I'm thinking about (someday) doing a '32 with a P-51 Mustang theme.

[codie27]

Looks like a great idea,I am gonna be following this one.

[Len Woodruff]

Very cool concept!

[Jantrix]

Build it next week?????

It would take me at least a month.

It would take me a year with a slowly as I build. Can't wait to see this come to life. I wonder how much you have invested in just kits.

Very cool project... Not to discredit your knowledge of the details or anything, but why start with the Renault instead of starting with a 29 Ford Roadster like the drawing depicts?

[Romell R]

Wow I cant wait to see this one..... I only wish I could pump em out as fast as you do!

GO JOHN GO!!!!!!!

1 Great concept + 1 Great piece of artwork + 1 Great builder = 1 Great model!!

Thanks for sharing,

[Jairus]

John, thank you for the compliments. I'm posting a couple of pictures here that might help. However I am a bit worried about the use of a "French" body instead of an American 1929 Ford body for this build. Maybe SOMEONE will send you a doner body.

This is the original artwork without the magazine gutter fold across the nose.

And this is a close up of of the turbo-supercharger exhaust turbine.

Simple elements that can be derived from various sources in the scrap box to create.

Do not forget tho... that there will be some hefty plumbing running between the engine and the turbo. This is why I left the passenger seat out so that the plumbing would have a straight shot just like in the real P-38 aircraft.

Good luck and happy modeling.

I have a running stock of fifteen different moels to build

And a whole lot of lack of motivation right now.

Jairus.....thank you for your advise and help......... that french kit was given to me as a gift........and I have had it for awhile......and I was trying to go the cheap route with the body and modify it to look like yours.......I didn`t really want to spend the money to get a 29........but now that you have interest in my build.....I will buy a 29......I really want to make you proud of what I will accomplish.......I will do my best on this build......I truly luv your art wortk.......thank`s,again,John

John,

You are also going to need:

A 1949 or 1950 AMT Ford front grill for the bullet nose.

A set of 1939 Chevrolet headlights. (1936 Ford will work in a pinch)

A 1932 Ford grill shell and frame.

Set of 1940 Ford steel wheels and tires from the Revell Rat Rods series.

With a great group like this forum I am sure some guys will be willing to help.

I have some of this stuff but it's in storage and not accessible.

[Chuck Most]

Almost looks like the wheel cover from a '76 Caprice kit could be made to work for the turbo charger center piece- it's flat and fluted around the edges as in the photo (the thought actually crossed my mind when I saw the Sketchpad write up). A cover from an AMT '56 T-Bird might work, too.

John, I can donate the 49/50 grille for the nose if ya want it.

[John Teresi]

John, I can donate the 49/50 grille for the nose if ya want it.

Jairus......thank`s again.......I have ordered the body and have a few of the parts needed ......would you happen to have a photo of the plumbing diagram for the turbo.......or could I find it in the web?.......I can start on the V-12 engine......but waiting for the body has set me back a week behind schedule........thank`s again,John

[george 53]

John, You got it Bro!

[Jairus]

[John Teresi]

Wow!!!!!......how cool......cant` wait.........I`ll really get into this.

[Jairus]
