Triple Nickel inspired '29 Ford Roadster - 12-09-19 Update

Thanks jb!

I did several small but important tasks on the way to finishing this up. Most importantly I made an additional layer of decals to outline the numbers in black and add a drop shadow. This serves to highlight the numbers which looked a bit washed out before. Now the gold really up shows up against the body colors. I also added a push bar, constructing a bracing structure and bar from styrene tubing and rod. Lastly I added team and car names. The entrants, Nichols & Dimas, are on the hood. Thus the car number and the car name, “Nickels & Dimes”, a hat-tip to the inspiration for the project, the Triple Nickel.

Now to finish up the grill and fit the hood and then wrestle the tonneau cover into shape. Shouldn’t be long to completion now.

Thanx for lookin’,

This Project is now complete except for some minor cleanup. Final “beauty shots” should be done tomorrow. In the meantime here's a cutaway teaser.



Thanx to all who followed along,

Looks great B! Very authentic in period. I like the "ghost" photo. Thanks for taking us along on your build journey here.
