Today at Badgerworks, we start on another car build, this time the Revell 1929 Model A hot rod. In part one, taking inspiration from David Freiburger's "F-Rod", we replace the stock small block V8 with a 3D printed monster of a 572 cubic inch big block V8 from Black Box Miniatures, complete with a tunnel ram:

I haven't followed your work for a long time but I'm always amazed at how you work around any dilemmas you face in your builds and come up with something completely different from box stock.
I'm sorry I got you into this car binge but at the same time I'm not, because you always come up with amazing work in the end! 🥰
One does one's best, my dear :-)
This is coming along nicely. Looks to be a quality build
I'm really enjoying these car builds that you are doing at the moment, can't wait for part 2.
I'm glad you're enjoying them. The second part of this series will be up on Patreon on Sunday and released publicly next week.
The whole 2 frames issue is youve got a 29-31Model A frame (the straight rail one) and a 32 rail (the wider swoopy one with the groove on the sides of the long rails)..its an old school trick to use 32 rails on a 29 body to fit bigger motors and a few other reasons (some just like the 32 frame look better even) most of these mods from the 50s n 60s (got started back long before even I was born) when these cars were dirt cheap and parts even more so...your version would be like a modern revisit to old school hotrodding with that 572 in it. Heres a pic of a 23 c cab I almost got back in the mid 90s (lack of funds at the time) scroll down to the black pics and thats almost what she looked like when i drove her (my buddy then Mike had it) only the paint was gloss black and had wheely bars and a 14 inch tunnel ram running dual carbs...car was named head hunter for good reason ran under 10 seconds in the quarter mile...the only car to ever make me question my sanity for wanting something so powerful for the street
That's some good history right there, thanks for that :-)
Is it possible to attach the plug wires into the rotor, then thread them through the headers and then to to the block? Seems like this would make the experience a lot easier on you. You could run the plug wires like the 1:1 through a harness arrangement then to the block; just sayin'. Like the Big Block!
Why didn’t you just loop the H.T. leads under the headers and around the back of the block?
There literally isn't enough room between the back of the heads and the firewall :-)
You should checkout the Motor Trend RUclips channel especially a show called Roadkill.
I've been a fan of many Motortrend shows for some years now :-)
Are there enough spare parts in that kit, to actually make two separate vehicles? I know you'd have to scratch build a new floor pan and body (3-D print?), but it looks like there's two of everything there. Chromed and plain. I don't really like Revell kits, if I'm honest. They keep reboxing old kits, making them look like new kits. At least Airfix have the decency to release old kits under the 'classics' line, and state quite plainly on the box, when the tooling dates from. Revell... Not so much.
Not far off, plus I didn't touch the kit motor. You could probably get most of the way there with what's left but, as you said, you'd need a new bodyshell, and some tyres.
2 in 1 just means you can build one of 2 options. Or you can mix and match and have a third option.
@@robertjensen1438 - I know that - but this kit has so many alternate parts, including body rails, that I did wonder... Most kits give you a few optional parts - Jo-Han's hearse, for example, but I've never seen as many as this.
