    Hi guys, thought I would post a few pictures of what I have be working on here lately. The 32 Roadster, was a glue bomb that someone had tried to glue the interior tub and firewall in with liquid glue. It had glue fingerprints all over it. After many hours of wet sanding starting with 1500 grit and polishing with 3M perfect-it II, I was able to save it. I painted the interior and firewall white, the engine red, and the suspension parts with Krylon matte aluminum. I used the wheels and tires from the Revell 32 Ford Couple.
    The 30 Ford coupe is being built using an old original Monogram kit. I am using parts from the Monogram 29 Ford roadster p/u, such as the front axle, engine, and such. The headers came from the Revell 354 Caddy parts pack. This has been a pretty easy assembly, using these to old kits and a few parts from the parts box. I have cleared the fenders and hopefully get around to the body this weekend.
    Hope ya'll enjoy and let me know what you think.

  5. That's not a Big Deuce. They are both 1/24th scale.

    Every Sunday there is a "SUNDAY MODELS" thread on here. Look for it next week.

    They look like die cast Hubley's. They're fun to work with, but a little tricky as they all came as stockers as far as I know. It can be tricky attaching the plastic wheels to the metal axles and stuff.
