All you need is to put a #21 on the car and call it a pre-war Wood Brothers car.

I like it, a lot!

Way Cool!

I love the paint scheme colors!

All you guys building these old coupes and sedans.

You are all going to use up all the ideas before I even get one started! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Very very nice!!!!

I liked the creamsicle look but I like the all solid color better.

That really came out looking nice!

The decal set on it looks awesome too.

Just a really cool build!

Keep them coming David!

Great work.

I could use a creamsicle now!

Dang it is hot and humid out today!

Scraping the house and cutting grass hasn't helped any either.

Anyhow, that coupe looks great!

Tell you what instead of a body I need to complete, just send me your finished coupe!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'll give it lots of love running around my track in the cool AC!!!!!

Great work David!

Adding that interior looks great!

Looks good, David. Great choice on color. It's not one that I would have considered but it really works here. Those gold decals look nice too!

Hi David!

Inspiration has just arriveth today!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

The goodie box arrived and I can't Thank You enough!!!!

I very much appreciate your generosity!!

Wow!

The resin bodies are awesome!

Great detail!

I was amazed looking at them....

The gears have been turning in my head as to what paint schemes to come up with for them and what pre existing chassis to use under them all afternoon?

I know you guys on the boards build brass chassis but I use existing chassis available from donor cars.

I think I have one that is close to the coupes wheel base.

Also I thought the '37 chevy coupe would be much smaller than the '40 coupe but honestly they look great side by side!

If this humidity would move out of here I could start laying down paint.....

Thank you again my friend!

It has been a pleasure and a joy!

Talk to you soon!

Hi David!

I just posted the pic as they arrived sitting on my track.

Along with my new T-Bird project.

I have found matching up wheel bases that the Scalextric T/A chassis almost fit perfectly to the wheel base of the coupe bodies.

I think the front axle on the T/A chassis would have to be adjusted slightly that's all.

More experimentation will come over time.....

Thank you again!

You have done a great thing casting these bodies in 1/32!!!!!

I am very passionate about this hobby that is why I am so enthusiastic!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm a car guy who grew up in a racing family.

My Dad and Uncle both drag raced in the late 60s and early 70s.

I was at the local tracks around here every weekend when I was little.

We had a drive way full of cool old race cars all the time.

Those were the days!

Now with responsibilities, a wife and 2 daughters I can't afford the 1:1 cars currently so 1/32 is the next best thing to feed my car racing passion!

You keep casting them and I'll keep building them!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Bolton's Speed Shop will be burning the midnight oil for many nights to come......

Hey David!

Cool flatheads!

Mark at MT resin does nice work!

I looked at quite a few 1:1 flatheads this evening at our local car cruise on Sunday evenings here in Berea, Ohio.

Some really nice stuff!

Check out my post for the pics from the cruise when you get a chance.

It is amazing how a little detail with interiors and engines makes these cars so much more nicer exponentially!

Again your coupe is really neat!

I hope mine turn out half as nice as yours! :lol: :lol: :lol:
