Vilperi Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 My latest build inspired by Ron Dunn´s old custom. An 3 scale inch section job, custom grille from AMT 51 Cevy upsidedown and slightly reshaped, 57 T-bird headlights and AMT 58 Impala custom taillights cut in halves. Painted whith a mix of silver,gold,copper and bronze to get an early 50´s feeling. Tryed to build after the device less is more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 That is beautiful! If my eyes are not fooling me it looks like the body is sectioned. I made one attempt at that on a "49 and ruined mine. I like all the custom tricks, it has that '50's vibe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joker Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Gorgeous ! Love the rounded hood and trunk lids... the opened up wheel arches and section give it a sporty look..well done. The sunken rear plate is a nice touch. The flipper wheel covers can be found in the 40 Ford panel. James aka Joker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaymcminn Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Very clean-looking. I love that clean unbroken fender line that sweeps all the way from front to rear- very elegant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Absolutely stunning. That is some really well thought out bodywork- it avoids all the cliches of a typical custom- it has more of a coachbuilt feel to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vilperi Posted June 8, 2012 Author Share Posted June 8, 2012 Thanks for all your nice comments, feels great to passing on some inspiration. My time at the workbench is quite limited, so i have lot of time thinking out the next step and how its should be done.The section job was done in about two hours when I finally started. The onebar flipper caps is pirated from an AMT 40 Ford delivery, dont know if all realeses has them. Could use another set for an upcoming project. /Stefan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
