This model remains popular with hot-rodders of all ages. The model B’s bring endless possibilities with the various V-8 engines and updated suspensions. This Classic Cruiser Series kit features a choice of either a full-fendered street rod body or a high-boy street rod style look. A great looking deuce for today’s generation!!

For the Modeler: This kit leaves you with endless possibilities for custom ideas. Not to take away from what I have said above, for personal choice, I have decided to do a few minor changes to help give this kit a little more character. I have decided to do a tutone paint scheme, wired the engine and substituted some custom wheels. There are also some fit issues that need to be addressed. While I didn’t come across any flash issues, I did find some mold lines along both sides of the trunk area and just below the A-pillars. A little sanding in those areas with 800 grit sandpaper took care of that with ease. The kit also features the 5 spoke wheels, a removable hood to display the Ford 302 engine, soft black wall tires, very crisp and clean chrome plated parts along with decals that offer optional custom graphics of your choosing. I decided to leave out the hood side panels to go with the style I was after for the street rod look

Thanks Everyone,
Rich Clark
