Koellefornia Kid Posted May 27, 2023 Share Posted May 27, 2023 A few weeks ago I was flicking through the pages of some old issues of Rod & Custom Magazine and stumbled over this rendering by Steve Stanford in the sketchpad section in the October 1995 issue: I instantly knew this will be my next model car project… I started with the body of a Revell ’30 Model A Coupe, slightly chopped the top and filled the roof. Then I cut off the cowl section and exchanged it with the one from a ’29 Model A Pick Up kit. Redid the body holdings with strip styrene and modified the rear wheel arches to fit the Pick Up’s fenders and mocked it up for a first look: Everything else except for the parts box wheels came from the Pick Up kit… I thought about a flathead or a SBC but decided to just use the Pick Up’s Ansen inline six: The rear plate wears the signature of Steve Stanford. A little tribute to one of my favourite automotive artists. Hope you like it Thanks for looking, as always comments are welcome Greetings from Cologne, Germany 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XYHARRY Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Cool fendered hot rod Oliver. That colour combo against the white walls is classic. I like the forward rake on the top chop too. Well done. Cheers, David. ?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phildaupho Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Great looking Coupe. I have always admired Steve Stanford's renderings which have inspired a couple of my models. I really like the accentuated sweep of the 28/29 character line on the cowl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the old '29 PU kit has a lot of horrible fit issues I had a lot of fun building it! Glad you like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Stanford had a lot of influence to my work as a modeller, too. I plan to build more models referring to his designs. Always collecting kits and parts... ?
