Hello all. It’s been a while sine I’ve gotten to build anything. My wife saw this kit and said she liked it, and thought it would be cool if I built it. I just wanted an out of the box build as my skills are rusty. The only thing I changed was that I cut the sides off the hood to reveal some of the engine. I omitted some of he kits body parts to try o keep a clean look. Sorry about the missing gas cap, I knocked it off cleaning the model for pics. ( I don’t get along with that gas cap...major pta). Not me best work, but I hope you enjoy the pictures.

I’ve moved this on to “Under Glass” thanks for following along!

Looking good!

Nice skills! Looking clean

Fit and finish are great. The bed floor turned out fantastic!

Thanks everyone! I’m down to the little fiddle bits, which test my patience and my eyesight! I mounted the bumpers, headlights and gas cap (I should have pinned the gas cap). This is first non 60’s musclecar I’ve built in a long time. It has been a challenge, especially because I have been away from building so far. I think all I have to do is finish the license plate \ tail light assembly and mount it. thanks again for the kind words and inspiration! More pics tomorrow

Update time: try as I might, I could not get the back door hinges to work, so I glued it is place. I also didn’t like the look of the hood with the sides, covering the engine. I took a deep breath and scribed along the body line and cut the sides off, so you can see the engine wither the hood on. I’ve always liked this look on a street rod

Looking good!

Just a quick mock up

Thanks Carl!

My first attempt at flocking, didn’t come out great. I’ll keep going. You really won’t be able to see it when the body is on anyway Also detailed the grill a bit

Thanks for all the kind words. Hopefully another update tomorrow

Whiskey barrels assembled and painted

The pearl white was painted on the top and the clear was applied. Just a quick mock up

Thanks!
