With my creativity flowing again I have started the build of a kit I scored at the NOVA show. This is a Minicraft 1:16 31 Ford Model A. The kit comes with some of vintage hot rodding’ greatest hits, a souped up flathead V8, dropped axle, quick change rear end, reversed steel wheels and white wall tires. Some of this stuff I’ll keep, some I will not. The Flathead is out, along with the wheel/tire package. In their place will be a 6 carb Buick nailhead V8 and 32 Ford wire wheels with “big and little” black wall tires. The ride height will also be getting a large adjustment, once I mock up the chassis and see where everything sits. The stock height headlight bar mounting points as well as all the chrome gingerbread on the rear deck have been removed and puttied over. More to come…
