DWNW Deuce Roadster

[TooOld]

Another "Deal's Wheels Never Was" . . . this one inspire by Dave Deal's original artwork , I finished it a couple of months ago after it sat unfinished for six year's . It's based on a Monogram shortened body/frame and has fabricated headers/engine , front and rear suspension , and wheels . Other bits and pieces are from the Monogram kit and my parts box .

The biggest hurdle was coming up with a driver and is one of the reasons it got shelved many years ago . I finally settled on modifying a Deal's Wheels head and creating the body using Apoxie Sculpt .

Paint is Tamiya TS-8 Italian Red and TS-13 Clear .

A fun and very long build . I hope you like it !



Here's the artwork that inspired it . . .

That looks like a fun one. I see you also put on a "Duvall" windshield to make it complete. Nice work and thanks for showing us the artwork that inspired it.

Yes on two stops we travelled in 1890's steam trains as well!
In Helsinki Finland we were told that 83% of all new car sales are EV's.
Three countries they have their own Kroner (Krowns) but they only use debit or credit cards, no cash!
We went as north as Finland and Estonia, but we were due to go to St Petersburg in Russia, but was changed due to obvious war footing.
I joked to why wife's cousins that were taking binoculars not to see wildlife but to look out for Sub's and Torpedoes!
