Gold'n Duece

[Steve H.]

Here's my latest off the bench and onto the shelf... Not my best build ever, but I'm pretty happy with it. Its about 99% of the fuzzy little picture in my head when I started, so I consider that successful.

Revell 32 3 window Coupe with Testors One Coat Inca Gold

Body sectioned 4", MCG 4" chopped grill, T-Bolt kit Radirs on 29 rat rod whitewalls, Tuck and roll running boards (I had planned a similiar roof insert, but copped out because I didn't like how it fit.) Of course, no build lately is finished without the Kdog tramp Stamp (of approval) on its rear end!

66 Riviera Nailhead engine w/ AMT valve and spark plug covers, RMCoM Strombergs, 2 sets 49 Merc air cleaners, basic wiring/plumbing. The scratchbuilt firewall is covered with mirror mylar.

Scratch built exhaust, rear pan raised to clear the diff, rear frame rails C-notched, front 4 bars adapted to the rear, RMCoM finned Buick brake drums, lengthened drive shaft.

Kit interior sectioned to fit, MCG P/E Banjo steering wheel, done in Tamiya pearl white.

Hope ya like... Questions and comments always welcome!

Looks great so far. I love the color. I am going to have to get some cans of that stuff (after I find some!).

Is it just me (probably), or does the windshield frame look like it is inside out? If it is, I hope its not too late to change it.

Where are the wheels and tires from?

Looks great so far. Keep it up.

Nice! The metallic gold gives it a real cool "old school" feel.

Ummmm... You're right... Thats kind of embarrassing . I guess I'm such a gooder model builderer that I don't have to read the instructions! I'll have to take a look at turning that assembly around.

Radirs from the T_bolt kit, tires from the 29 rat rod p/u.
