Lyle Willits Posted March 25, 2011 Share 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.

Raul_Perez Posted March 26, 2011 Share 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, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duntov Posted March 27, 2011 Share 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!!!

Lyle Willits Posted April 7, 2011 Author Share 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.
