My version, not a good copy but it makes me smile. Based on the Revell 3 window, chopped 3.5 mm, channeled 7mm. The doors were modified to be level with the top of the chassis. Nose was a pair of original Ala Carte parts for CTURNER. they were split in two and widened 3mm on top and 6 on the bottom, grill is HO railroad chain link fence with plastic bars on it. Firewall is polished 010 Aluminum flashing. The lower "fin panels" below the doors are .015 plastic, I should have tried to use the .010 aluminum (still might try). Engine is from the Revell 1950 Olds Custom kit with parts box blower set up, carbs are from the Galaxie 48 Chevy kit and headers are 1/8 plastic rod bent up. Interior and roof insert is all 030 sheet plastic I filed the pattern into. Buttons and piping is a Blue Sharpie. Chassis was converted to Ford buggy spring rear with front and rear radius rods from the Atlantis Fiat kit. Wheels are parts box with Molotow Chrome on them. White walls on inside and out side are done with a Sharpie white enamel paint marker from Best Buy. Paint of House of Color True Blue Candy over Tamiya Mica Blue.

When building replica style models, if you can look at it and say "oh yeah, Little Deuce Coupe" it's a Good copy.
