Pimentel.Eng Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Used the Revell kit. I rounded the front fender to much at the wheel opening and will get corrected to look more like the real fender,will be droping it some while at it. Nor sure how much i choped or or removed from the deck lid when pie sectioned. Skirts will get extended downwards and quater reworked to accept kustom taillight bezels. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Your body modifications all flow well. The body proportions can be very difficult to do without any jarring body lines. I like the mild chopped top the way you have done here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any lower and would have been a nightmare to get the roof to flow with the rear glass. I had to use a section from a 49 merc roof and some reshaping to the plastic. It was my first 50 Olds and a headache for I was driving blind. At theend im very happy. Now for the smalker kustom touches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 Looking forward to where you go with this one. I really like the older style customs, from mild to somewhat wild. As already said your eye for proportions is superb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pimentel.Eng Posted June 3, 2019 Author Share Posted June 3, 2019 Were I am with this Kustom. One side so far. I want to see how it looks before doing both. The taillight will ride right above the bumper giving the corners a sunken look. Might blend in the splash pan,we will see how the rest looks with primer first.
