Thank you guys!  SBC are becoming a dime-a-dozen in the modeling world.  Time for something different!

 Looks awesome! And I have to sing that praise one more time : It's Not Another SBC powered ride. Not that I dislike them but just too many of them, something different counts too.

Nothing stinky about unburnt fuel belching out two feet from the cylinder it was blown up in Cool.  

Ever see nitro cars run?  I was at a race track in Idaho way back standing near the burnout box.  You could feel these cars in your gut and not so much smell as there was the burning in your eyes!  All of it spells fun.

Thanks,

John

I can hear the rumble and smell the stinky exhaust!

Wonderful job on that Ford Mike!  Love the colors and especially those wide whitewall tires.  After seeing yours I regret not getting this kit when I had the chance.

Thank you John and Jim!  This is what I had copied from the box art and I must say that the '30 Model A came out beautifully.

Thank you guys!  I have built the '29 Model A Roadster with a SBC, so the Nailhead Buick is a welcomed change of pace!

Very nice ! And aside from the obvious exellent work done, I still revel in the fact it's not yet another SBC stuck under the hood.

More work done on the '30 Ford Model A Coupe.  I want this to be finished on Saturday morning before I head off to the latest meeting of the Classic Plastic Model Club.  I added more of the suspension pieces and then I added the body.  The last picture shows the top added to the rest of the body, but it is not glued on yet.  One of the things I had noticed earlier was that the interior seat would not fit through the open top like the instructions show.  The seat is just too wide and so the top is still loose!  I need to paint the rear interior surround where the top meets the body so that all is the same flat white color.

More Model A to come...

I got the interior floor added with embossing powder for carpet, the fuel cell and battery along with the exhaust system.  I painted the mufflers red to simulate Cherry Bomb mufflers.  

More Model A to come...

I'm old enough to remember when Portawalls were in vogue.

 

Frank: Alright....I'm gonna throw my "old guy hat" in the ring. Didn't JC Whitney sell those? 

 

Mike: Progress is looking great man.

Since the paintbooth was fired up today, I painted the firewall and the rooftop with Tamiya TS-26 Pure White.  The rooftop will get a coating of flat or semigloss clear afterwards.

More Model A to come...

Nice looking.  Picked up one of these at the local hobby shop a while back.
