Claude Thibodeau Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Hi! An experiment with the iconic Lincoln: removed roof and trunk, custom-made box & wheelwells, Dodge Sidewinder truck interior & glass. Late -model Challenger rollingstock, Testor's metallic & Wetlook clear. Just a Curbside styling exercise... Claude Thibodeau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koellefornia Kid Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Interesting approach to this kit! Like it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Very creative, and it looks as if in 1:1 it would be useable also. I like that you pointed out all of the different parts you used, it might be hard to determine otherwise. All of the different design elements flow together smoothly.

iBorg Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Normally I look at kits that combine different eras as bad styling experiments. That's not the case here. I could see someone taking a beater and making this beauty. The sidewinder parts work very well with this conversion. I'll admit I think that's one kit that offers a host of styling possibilities.

Claude Thibodeau Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi! Thank you for the comments. My only regret is that all the sanding and smoothing of the body almost erased the small kick-up on the top of the rear qurater panel, just past the door line. You can't have it all, I guess... Siome show goers casually think it's an Imperial. The custom grille provided in the kit facilitates this mis-conception. And let's not forget that the head designer for this Lincoln at Ford moved across town to Chrysler later on... and was in charge of the Imperial refreshing. Makes sense to be duped, then...
