Drag City Casting 34 Roadster

This weekend I was finally able to get back to this one. In case you don't remember this is Ed's new 34 Ford roadster body based on the AMT kit. He recently mastered a new custom interior for the body, which is a huge improvement over the kit supplied interior (which is a 5window interior). You may notice it looks an awful lot like the interior from Monograms evergreen 32 roadster kit (originally the Little Deuce), but the master was dramatically reworked to fit the different proportions of the 34 body.

I wanted a stock appearing dash, so i spent my weekend modifying the dash from an original issue Monogram 34 Ford kit. The AMT dash is too narrow, so this 1/24 dash made a perfect starting point. I removed material off the top so it would fit the contour of the body and nestle under the cowl just like the real car. I'm very happy with how this turned out. Now it's on to finalizing the rear suspension setup.

And here's a reminder of what this project looks like with the last mockup from 4 months ago.
