plumnuts Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 you know I havent seen too many of this bodystyle that I'v liked , but I have to admit this thing is nice and looks good. which goes to prove a theory of mine, the lower thay go the better thay look.

Jerry Steinbacher Posted November 23, 2008 Author Share Posted November 23, 2008 nice build! i have to admit that does look good and now i want one! how was it to build? tips on kit to bash with etc? Thank you all for your comments and Bob, the Hendrix conversion wasn't bad at all. No more so than any other good resin kit. A little adjusting on the interior fit, a few minor pin-holes and a little clean-up around the inside of the windows. And one thing I noticed during final assembly. There is a small blob of resin around the right parking light mount. I was able to clean it up reasonably well and repaint. I used the Revellogram '48 Ford street rod kit as a donor and the hood fit quite well. This may be of help to others wishing to build these '48 Fords. Being 60 and sometimes being ham-fisted, when I was trying to detail the taillight lenses, one went into orbit. I didn't want to raid any of the waiting kits I have, there is a coupe or two in the wings, I seached through my parts and came up with a set of taillights from the '32 roadster kit. There supposed to be Chevy lights but after checking pics on-line and looking at the final build, I'm pleased with the appearance. I may just have to order a few sets from Bob Dudek and see how those look. I hope this of help to any and all. And Chris, I like, even the color. Thanks again to all, Jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Lacy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Fantastic looking build, love the color and stance! That body looks really good. Was it actually intended to be used with the Revell kits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FactoryStock54 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 LOVE those fat-fendered beauties! Great job on the '48! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it actually intended to be used with the Revell kits? Thank you Dennis and I would say that it is intended to be used with the Revell kit as the interior floor mates very well with the kits chassis.
