Here She is all ready to rile up the Masses and cause Hysteria among the Concours crowd. Got her channeled the height of the frame then I lowered her about 2 scale inches. Most of the car is out of its kit box just Modified to my liking. The only parts added from the Rod Box are the 4 side drafts, the steering wheel and the tail lights. The Rear Windshield is chopped about 2 inches to put it more in porportion with the fronts rake. The 4 side drafts come about just for the look. It was supercharged but I decided to do away with that for the look of the carbs. I decided to keep the kit exhaust because it looked "hot rod " enough. The front spreader bar is modified fro the kit spreader and retains the center driving light the original had. Ok time for me to shut my face and show ya the rod. These pics are indoor I'll get her outside and do a few outside shots soon.

The little part of my heart that is reserved for Duesenberg's is aching...but you did a fine job putting her together. I haven't had the guts to chop and channel any of the true oldies yet. One of these days I will break down and do it. Great work!

Kewl!

But, Dude! You gotta drill and bevel the bells of those air horns! The flat faces with mold separation lines just dismantle the overall coolness of your model.

Now whilst I would be really pissed if someone did this to a real Duesenberg, this does look very nice - Wayne

Yup, absolute sacrilege.

However, since Fred & Augie built race cars, too, they might have liked the "look"....
