The Jo-Han CG-431 base kit took extensive modifications to convert into this 370 Roadster but it was worth it. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve never seen another model like it in 1:25 scale. If you happen to see one let me know so I can compare research notes.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 I would love to have been behind the wheel of this Cadillac when it came out of turn number 4 at the Brickyard in \u00e2\u20ac\u212231. What a grand feeling it must have been leading the pack and laying on the power of that smooth-as-silk V-12 Caddy.<\/p>\n<p>\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 This project has plenty for the modeler. Heavy and minor modifications, error corrections to the original instructions, chrome stripping and refinishing, scratch building and aftermarket decals to name a few are demonstrated.<\/p>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n var gaJsHost = ((\"https:\" == document.location.protocol) ? \"https:\/\/ssl.\" : \"http:\/\/www.\"); document.write(unescape(\"%3Cscript src='\" + gaJsHost + \"google-analytics.com\/ga.js' type='text\/javascript'%3E%3C\/script%3E\"));\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\n try { var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker(\"UA-7543364-1\"); pageTracker._trackPageview(); } catch(err) {}\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>   This project started with a base JoHan Cabriolet model G-312 from the 70&#8217;s and was converted to the Model 370 V-12 Roadster used in the 1931 Indy 500 pace setter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[208,202,203,204,205,209,207,206,212,77,8,103,211,39,210],"class_list":["post-755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-current-projects","tag-1931-cadillac-370-model","tag-1931-indy-500-pace-car-model","tag-1931-pace-car-model","tag-1931-pacecar","tag-cadillac-370-model","tag-cadillac-v-12-model","tag-fred-cady-decals","tag-jo-han-gc-431","tag-johan-cabriolet-model-gc-431","tag-kit-bashing","tag-model","tag-pace-car-model","tag-pace-car-models","tag-right-on-replicas","tag-ror"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=755"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":759,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755\/revisions\/759"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.rightonreplicas.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
