Well, I have no idea what kit this was (maybe someone here knows), I know only that it was one of the first.

Decals combined with hand-painted grafics, hey, those were the days...

Hope, you like it.

IT is an amt kit not a 29 but not sure of the year. Nice build..

Very good guess, Carl, and that's what I thought initially. It's actually a Monogram 1/24 '30/31 Model A.

I also thought it might be the AMT '32 Chevy, but the giveaway to its true identity is the triangular-pattern ribs on the panel just behind the seat, the door panel details, the '30/'31 Ford grille shell, and the appearance that the body shell was made for a top, plus the size and shape of the rumble seat, and the pointy character line moldings on the upper cowl sides.

It's definitely got AMT wheels / tires, and a chopped windshield adapted from something else.

It's also got some nice custom touches like the painted grille shell, lowered headlights, the front frame spreader bar, a nice hot-rod rake that took some effort to achieve with the Monogram kit, and custom hood sides with no louvers. I think the graphics work quite well for this kind of period build too.

We don't see very many full-fender '30-'31 model A Ford convertibles (this kit is actually a cabriolet, not a roadster) because this is the only kit, far as I know. I like it.
