Comparo - Built Revell '29 A CHANNELED Roadster & 3 Other Channeled Ford Roadsters .

[tim boyd]

16 photos at the link compare the new Revell '29A Channeled Roadster to three other Channeled Ford Roadsters.  Very interesting to compare body/chassis stance, interiors, engines, build styles, etc. between these models.  Here's one photo each of the comparos album at the link...

The other channeled '29A Roadster was built about five years ago, also with a Nailhead V8 (mostly the AMT Trophy Series Double Kit '32 Ford "Custom" engine, with stamped steel valve covers from the Revell Tony Nancy Double Dragster kit), and reflects a more traditional "channeled" appearance/stance.

 

...., while the '27T Channeled Turtledeck was built ten years ago, with a Y-Block Ford for power....those are Revell c.1963 Parts Packs Tall/n/Taller Blackwalls, with Chrome Reverse Wheels from the Revell Beatnik Bandit... 

...while the '32 Channeled Roadster was built in 1975 and updated twice, most recently about four years ago.  

For more pictures of each, start with photo #172 at link here:  http://public.fotki.com/funman1712/tim-boyds-124th--12/boyd-street-rods-ra/boydstreetrodsratro/page9.html   

Needless to say, one difference between these three models and the newly assembled Revell kit - the latter took about 1/10th the amount of time to complete as any of the others shown here!  Thanks for looking...TIM
