Brudda Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 Love them all!!!! The best thing I like about hot rods is the freedom to build what you want or you can build a real car. Soooo cool!
unclescott58 Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 A lot of great models in this thread. Fun to see.
Dave Darby Posted October 7, 2018 Posted October 7, 2018 This one is a survivor I tweaked up just a bit with a new front axle, wheels and induction system. Hey I know it's Sunday, but why wait?

They're two different models. The upper one is 1/25. The lower one is 1/8. The headlight stands are from either the Monogram Big T, or one of the Lindberg 1/8 T kits. All the large-scale stuff is packed, so I can't dig anything out to look.

I black-washed the faces, then covered them with clear PVA canopy glue to simulate glass. It worked well for about a year, and then the "glass" and wash just fell off. Still working out a permanent solution. That model represents something that could have been built in SoCal by a rodder with some money, in the early to late 1950s. At that time, there were still some high-end 1930s European cars in junkyards, so the Merc panel isn't too far-fetched.

Hmmmm...first thing that comes to mind in 1/25 is one of these... I'm pretty sure the T phaeton kit derived from this still has the quad lights on stands. Probably wouldn't be too rough to remove one light from each. >>>>>>> I don't remember exactly what this kit has, but I'll have a look. Edited October 9, 2018 by Ace-Garageguy
