FordRodnKustom Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Here's my latest build, I finished it up about a month ago. I enjoy restoring these built vintage models. I started out with this 1958 AMT Edsel After quite a bit of work and a few parts from the current hard top kit I ended up with the old glue bomb looking like this. Thanks for taking a look at it.

Erik Smith Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Great job. I have recently acquired some glue bombs from the early days and will be restoring them. I hope my efforts look half as good as yours. Those kids back in the 60s liked a couple things: lots of glue and randomly applied custom parts. And lots of glue.

Draggon Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I sorta "lost it" when it was posted at another place, but it deserves more "props" because it is such a fantastic transformation! Everything is so right, the craftsmanship is outstanding, and that grille just makes it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
