Harry P. Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Is there a reason why the hood doesn't close? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 The supercharger hits the hood, something I only discovered after completion. When you re-engineer a kit, it happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Very nice Bob, I see you lengthened the doors and roof to proper 2 door proportions. A 3/4 front view would be nice to see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisBcritter Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Sold through Texaco dealers back in 1959- 1961. The show up on Ebay. Yep. They usually sell in this price range: It would be cool to see one with a full interior detail job done on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclescott58 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Interesting idea. I'd like to more photos. From the photos you presented its really hard to see if it's a '57 or a '58. Workmanship looks good from what I can see. And those Buddy L gas stations where very cool. I wonder what happened to Buddy L? And were the dies are for that gas station?

Bob Ellis Posted June 30, 2016 Author Share Posted June 30, 2016 I have lots of build photos. It might be easier to send them by Facebook as bandwidth is small here. Buddy L turned the station into a Buddy L gas generic station . Really ruined it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I reality the newer station is probably a more realistic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
