Don't know if you want a more stock looking bumper ,but if I remember I think the one from the monogram Caddy conv. fits right on this kit.

Hold on I'm wrong its the front bumper that fits pretty good!But mine is a Polar-Lights kit
Very sorry about that I didn't know there was two different ones.that kit has a stock rear bumper.Very sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice direction on this one. I've been wanting to get another ecto for a hot rod hearse ever since I built the polar lights kit. Does this kit come with the doors n hood opened up or is that your handiwork? And how do you post pics from your cell phone? I have an iPhone but haven't been able to figure that one out yet. Keep it coming

I opened the doors and hood. the car is a complete curbside with no chassis, interior, or engine detail n fact there is no motor at all. I have an android phone and downloaded the photobucket app. its got the img codes on it and i just copy and paste them on the site. time consuming, but it works



Update:
Body work almost done:


this side needs more work:

[Rob Z]

That's pretty KOOL!!! I have the Lindbergh kit in just about the same state... I have the roof just about where I want it and am working on the side windows... I started mine several years ago, one of these days I will get back to it... Definitely gonna keep an eye on this one for ideas and tips... TY

[Dr. Cranky]

[CemetaryAngel81]

[jcbigpaw]

Thanks for the info on the photobucket app. I've been meaning to give that a shot. Nice work on this build. I'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out

Still aways to go on the frame. Sorry about the bad pictures, makes everything look crooked.
