So glad this one is finally off the workbench . Waht started of to be a simple wekend build turned into a major pain in the @&%$ . Painted and stripped , twice. The 2 layer decals the  registration was off ever so slightly, causing there own issues .  Even now the body has crazing in the plastic under the paint that didn't show till it was decaled and cleared. At that point I just wanted it done and in the case so I could move on. Nothing  special  details wise but a MAD pre-wired dist

I'll add some more pictures over the weekend.

I've been told the tail lights in the custom version of this kit are actually 1958 model year pieces. If so I need a set

Anyone got pictures to show them

Not sure if I ever asked this or not.

A friend of mine who owns a high level restoration / fabrication shop . ( think Pebble Beach quality type cars )

And he's  building an extremly high end 1937 Ford woodie, for the most part from scratch / ground up.

He knows I build model kits and asked me if a model of this car is possibile .

SO, I'm asking . I see there is a model kit of an all steel car , just haven't found a woodie kit as of yet

Finally,, it's on the done side of the case. Only took nearly 12 years.

And yes, the  date shown on the 1st picture is legit. Thats how long this one has been waiting.
It's an old  Goodstuff resin body on a Johan Challenger interior tins and chassis .
Best I can remember it's painted in testors candy apple red over a gold base on both the body and chassis.
Engine just has some of the basic ignition wiring and fuel system on it just for fun.
This one was my 1st attempt to make my own accetate windshield. It's not bad but far from perfect.
Overall I'm happy with the finished build.. But real glad to get it to the ' finished '  side of the case.
