om617 Posted May 19, 2017 Share Posted May 19, 2017 Ready to wrap this one up,wating for window cranks,and i`ll add rear view mirror and radiator hoses. Purchased as assumed decent rebuilder,but was more of a gluebomb. The hardest part was getting the windsheild out and reasseble the boot after puzzle all the pieces of it back together after getting it off the rear deck,and then fix the rear deck panel. The front fender was also damaged. Did some mods for the radiator support,added oil-filler tube to the engine,also the breather from the air cleaner. Custom made decal for air cleaner made by a forum member,dont remember the alias or name but he did a great job. The exhaust tips are also modified. Some ignition and battery wires pluss the cooler hoses,that`s about it for mods. Nice kit but very bland interior as for detail.the cranks will add somthing i hope,oh and the shifter. Color is automotive Antique Rose,i wanted to add uptop to this build but those aren`t ready yet. Thanks for looking,hope you like it.

om617 Posted May 19, 2017 Author Share Posted May 19, 2017 That really looks good!where are you getting window cranks from? I need some for a projectThank you. Norm at replicas and miniatures of maryland will be "cranking" up packs with only window/vent window cranks.It was only a suggestion from my side to leave out the handles and add more cranks instead.
