Phildaupho Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 That roof is so perfect with the slope of the trunk and the shape of the fins. It is a radical yet restrained custom and gorgeous in all respects. It would be fun to read Mark Gustavson's Custom Clinic comments regarding your model.

showrods Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Gorgeous and a true engineering masterpiece. Would have loved to have seen WIP photos of the body work. Great colour btw. This should be turned into a commercial kit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have loved to have seen WIP photos of the body work. Great colour btw. This should be turned into a commercial kit! @showrods When I bought a new computer and had the pics moved, I lost some pics in the process. I have a few here, but none of the body work in progress. I included pics of the Chrome pieces back from the plater. You can see where the side spears were removed and the front fender well chrome and the rear fender chrome moldings were removed and backed up with sheet plastic for replacing the pieces. In the front view you can see a sheet of plastic that was added to keep the fenders level with each other, and be the beginning of the radiator support brace.

I have missed seeing your work. You were one of my favorite builders many, many years ago.
