jdcar32 Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) This is a Tom Coolidge / Promolite resin curbside converted to full detail using the AMT '58 Edsel. The motor represents a rare Lincoln 430 option and would have made this lightwieght car a potent performer. The resin carves easily and the casting was nice so the engineering itself presented the challenge here. Both cars have the same wheelbase so the kit chassis works well. My dremel thinned panels for a better appearance. Paint is Tamiya rattle can Edited March 16, 2013 by jdcar32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
