Picked this up at the weekend, just couldn't resist ;D. 1/8 scale 1932 Ford Roadster Street Rod  . It will be a long term project by the looks of things but I am going to add as much detail as I possibly can whilst adding a modern touch to it: Here's a few pictures I took of the bodyshell next to the 1/24 Tamiya Honda S800, its big  .:   And here's on of the tyres as well:  Already brought some Pocher Ferrari F40 disc's and calipers to start the modernisation process, going to have fun with this one  . |

I've got a nice book on the Ford Model 'A', i'll bring it to Huddersfield, ever thought about converting it to a 30's Police Car? I've been looking for some good reference pictures so will be interested to see the book. And no I hadn't thought about a police car. I have got a idea for a nice paint job (hot rod style) but always open to suggestions. |

Actually Spike, I've found two books, one on police cars and another on fire vehicles, mainly b/w but lots of good photos, even one of the AAA (American Automobile Association). Lots of reference for you, I'll bring them both to Huddersfield. try this ... vrooooooooooooooooooooooom! carnut.com/iown/cpenow.html |

Work has kicked off on the Ford and this is where I stand at the moment: The chassis and fuel tanks have been glued together and I have started to fill in the chassis to give it a nice clean look as this is going to be a show hot rod:  Also started to build the engine which is in need of some modification to get the blower to fit properly:  The fuel tank has some major sunken areas in the plastic so lots of filler has been needed to smooth it out:  |

Whatcha Spike, This is looking sooo familiar I've stripped my rebuild back and the chasis is ready to start. Engine block back together- pics l8r  I'm thinking along the lines of a phaeton which will mean major surgery out the back Rich |
