Sherrill Luck's '29 Ford Roadster

[curt raitz]

Been wanting to build a model of my wife's cousin Sherrill Luck's '29 Ford Roadster for some time.

Just gott'er done in time for Christmas...if you know Sherrill, please don't tell'em OK!

Started with AMT '29 Roadster kit, Chevy 327 engine ,'58 Chevy rear-end, wheels/tires from Revell '40 Ford pickup and other goodies...

here's a photo of Sherrill with the real car:

here be the model:

Happy Holidays everyone and thanx for lookin'

That's one cool looking Hot Rod.

Oooooh! It's a '29 A Bone hot rod. I gotta like it! Very nice! Your friend should be delighted with this thoughtful gift! :)

[Foxer]

Great job replicating that one! Those wheels ARE "the find" of this build!

Good job replicating the roadster. He can now display a model of his car with his car at car shows.

Another fine model from you Curt . Looks just like the photo of the real one.

[CaptainAhab]

wow, spot on. He'll enjoy it for sure!

Great model! It's nice to have a model of your real car. One question: The top on the 1:1 looks tan in the photo instead of black. Did he change to a black top sometime after the photo was taken?

The top is black...looks as though it got washed out by the sunlight in the photo...

That is one sweet lil' rod Curt!!

That's nice and clean, as always. Your talents are awesome, I can't really find any mistakes of your builds. Thsi paintjob looks very good and engine detailing is very nice too. I like those tires and wheels on it and stance is just perfect. That real thing looks very good too, of course and this model. I like it very much, thank you for sharing it, keep these amazing Hot Rods coming!

Excellent job, Curt. If Sherrill doesn't like it, just tell him I'll come get the model and the 1:1.

That's a great likeness to the 1:1! .

Hey Curt...you nailed that one...perfect likeness if the real thing. That would be a cool rod to go cruisin'in on a summer evening. Very cool.

Thanx for all the compliments, it was fun and Sherrill thoroughly enjoyed getting a "Minnie-Me" of his 29 Ford Roadster last night.

He plans on showin' it off to his "Car Buds" at the next meet...

Nice-looking build, Curt. And a very tasteful rod, too.
