Duntov Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) I really like this one --- especially the flat head --- different color for an engine for sure --- Edited August 11, 2014 by Duntov

Dennis Lacy Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 Thank you everyone for your nice comments, everybody! Here's a few more views of the flathead. I think the cream-white turned out pretty good.
1 bad55 stan Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 That is the coolest 34 i think i have ever seen!Fantastic!!!
Mike Kucaba Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 I didn't think that kit could ever look that good!
unclescott58 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Looks Kool! The top so low you have to open up the door at the drive in for your milkshake. Like I said, Kool! Scott
Flatout Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Hey Dennis...What a great looking Hot Rod, doesn't get more traditional than that. Thanks for taking the time to list your parts and the sources. Definitely one of the best 34's in scale! Aloha...Pete
fractalign Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 10 out of 10 for thinking out side the box !

Phildaupho Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 (edited) Great model. I really like this style trend which is gaining popularity with 1/1 hot rods such as a couple appearing in current issues of Rod & Custom and Hot Rod Deluxe. Edited August 12, 2014 by Phildaupho
