Tiny, your a true Craftsman..Your Roadster is a Showpiece alright. I bet there was a grey cloud floating over Lake Mich. the day it rolled off the TV. (in reference to the movie A Christmas Story)  Really nicely detailed engine bay....Very nice work, cant wait to see whats next.

32' Ford Roadster...
Posted by -Tiny- on Monday, October 20, 2008 2:54 PM

Hey guys, here's my 32' Ford Roadster.  She won second place in the Roadster class at a large model show in London Ontario a few years back.  It is painted with Tamiya red and black paint, has many aftermarket photo-etched parts and turned aluminium parts.  I had never used this many aftermarket parts in one kit before, it was a bit pricey, but I love the way it turned out.

A couple years after I won 2nd place, I dropped it off of my T.V.  I could have cried.  But I sucked it up and put her back together.  Hope you guys like it.

I purchased a photo etch kit for the 32 ford roadster, which included the grille, steering wheel insert, dash pannel, liscence plate surround and tail lights. I also added turned aluminium tail pipes, aluminium rear view mirrors, Edelbrock engine kit, 'T' style valve cover bolts, aluminium rad cap and distributor cap/wires.  I used a piece of wire covered in heat shrink to achieve the cool rad hose.
