Lyle Willits Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) This is the resin Sport Coupe from Replicas & Miniatures mastered by Craig Stansfield. I scratchbuilt a custom firewall,,,,just because! Flattie from the sedan kit. 2-carb mainfold from the AMT '34 Ford kit. Carbs from an old AMT '57 Chevy kit. Carb stacks are craft store "eyelets" I wanted the wheels to be old and a little different. These are resin wide-5's from Reps & Mins with the dust caps and lug nuts trimmed down. Two-piece hubcaps from the AMT '36 Ford kit with the outer chrome ridge painted orange. Trim ring is Bare Metal Foil. Rear tires are from Revell '37 Ford truck (I think) and the fronts are from the Revell '49 Merc kit with the whitewall inserts painted black. The car will be painted Tamiya dark yellow (looks greenish) and Tamiya brown. Reshaped a pair of '32 Chevy hood sides to fit the '32 Ford hood. Edited April 7, 2011 by Lyle Willits
Bobdude Posted March 25, 2011 Posted March 25, 2011 It appears retirement has given you more building time.See you in Jersey.
Darin Bastedo Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 That's sweet, I'll have to pick up one of those bodies.
Harry P. Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Great start... and I love the look of the wheels!
Olds Rocket 88 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Lookin good Lyle, really like that wheel combination..
Raul_Perez Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Very cool stuff, Lyle!! An old friend of mine had a Model A Sport Coupe. If I remember correctly, it was burgundy and black with chrome wire wheels and a small block Chevy. Later,
Erik Smith Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Nice. I really like the look of the old wide bolt wheels. Check this. Cool classic hot rod look!
spad007 Posted March 26, 2011 Posted March 26, 2011 Nice project lots of neat things going on there Keep going and have fun.
Greg Pugh Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 I'm looking forward to watching this one come together!
Duntov Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 This is some nice work..... I really like it when a builder combines a lot of older stock kit parts to get a unique look..... you certainly set the mark here.... keep up the good work!!! Regards Bill (Duntov)
Lyle Willits Posted April 7, 2011 Author Posted April 7, 2011 Progress is being made. Should be finished for NNL EAST. Top fits correctly - a little loose in this mockup. Have to Foil the windshield frame. '41 Ford steering wheel appears to be cloudy because I had just brushed on some semi-gloss and it hadn't dried yet. Still have lots of details to add.
