I have a small start on a little roadster runabout.
A while back, i took apart an old telephone to see if there were any usable goodies in it. Nada. Digital just don't have neat stuff like analog does.
I did save these two dial buttons, seeing a potential gas tank in them. This'll be on the back of my roadster:


Headers for the 4 banger - wire. The megaphone muffler is from two model A tailpipe assemblies. These have since been filled and sprayed black with Alclad:



I had built an undersized 34 coupe several years ago that I just hated because it was smaller than all of my other stuff. Must have been 1/25. Anyway, I tore it apart, cut off the trunk, and sectioned it lenghtwise. On a model A frame:

That modern stuff this days is not good for the modeler

Got a little more done. Using the leftover model A stuff. I had modified the rear spring/axle combination for another build that went in a different direction. So, that, and using KKKKK wheels, I had to do some scratching at the rear.


And i had to make a firewall.

A little more progress.
I got sidetracked a bit, trying to cast some tires for this baby.

Starting to come together as I add the little finishing thingies

New KKKKK wheels don't want to fit the front backing plates now that I have them glued to the axle

But this is starting to look kool, if i say so myself. Think it'll be one of my favorites.

this does look fun to build!
