Time to post up the start of my second entry in this campaign( Probably the only one that will get done in time!!!)


Revel's offering of the 5 window coupe...

This build will be OOB with a little wiring belt work on the motor. Will try to do a nice clean build and attempt a shiny paint job.

Hopefully more soon!

It looks like Revell has updated the deuce! That kit was kit of the year back in 1995, builds up great! It appears they have changed engines, is that a hemi I see? Looking forward to this one Randy! (y)
 
Now thats gonna be one cool looking Rod. What colors are you thinking about using. I do kinda like the blue from the box art picture. Of course, that choice is up to you. Have at it and, most of all, Have fun!!!

Thanks to MP, Mike, Terry, Dave, Dave W, and Martin (y) (y)

Dave W, After a paint consult with Mike I'm going with a metallic black from the Testors Lacquer line 'Blaze Black' Wanted to try the flame decals and thought the darher color would work well.


Progress to date,


Stripping chrome parts....

engine work started, Mike it looks like a 392 hemi?, have to check with Jeff on this....

Body color on. Painted the cowl yellow, will run some flames off of that over the hood. Will use the door flames also..

Thinking of this wheel with blackwalls, going with the fenderless style like the blue one on the box art..

That is all for now, Thanks for looking in!

Looking good, Randy! That looks like the hemi from the '41 Willys kit, something tells me R-M is kit bashing their molds. (y)
 
Great project!

I'm thinking the same thing as Mike that the Hemi looks like it is from the Willys kit. Let me do some checking, the new Hot Rod Magazine has some stuff on the Hemi this month.
 
Thanks to MP, Dave And Mike for the kind words!!!

Jeff, Thank you (y)

Progress....


We have a roller!!!!!!!

I'm happy with the paint so after checking with Shiny paint guru Mike, will go ahead and add the flames then clear and polish. :) :)



Thinking dark grey on the floor with red upholstery. Some engine work and we're in the home stretch :D :D


Thanks for looking in,


Randy
 
That is turning into one totally mean looking Deuce coupe. I like how its coming. And a 392 Hemi under the hood will be AWESOME!!!

Dave W.
 
Yeah, Black, Gray and Red will be an awesome color combo, along with a righteous flame job on the flanks will be totally cool. Real nice job.
