lanesteele240 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 When i try stuff like this, i store it in the box and never go back to it. They end up on a hopes and dreams graveyard. Good job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Minarick Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Don't know if you want a more stock looking bumper ,but if I remember I think the one from the monogram Caddy conv. fits right on this kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcbigpaw Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Nice direction on this one. I've been wanting to get another ecto for a hot rod hearse ever since I built the polar lights kit. Does this kit come with the doors n hood opened up or is that your handiwork? And how do you post pics from your cell phone? I have an iPhone but haven't been able to figure that one out yet. Keep it coming Edited August 25, 2012 by jcbigpaw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep it coming I opened the doors and hood. the car is a complete curbside with no chassis, interior, or engine detail n fact there is no motor at all. I have an android phone and downloaded the photobucket app. its got the img codes on it and i just copy and paste them on the site. time consuming, but it works Update: Body work almost done: this side needs more work: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Z Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 That's pretty KOOL!!! I have the Lindbergh kit in just about the same state... I have the roof just about where I want it and am working on the side windows... I started mine several years ago, one of these days I will get back to it... Definitely gonna keep an eye on this one for ideas and tips... TY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nboldman Posted August 28, 2012 Author Share Posted August 28, 2012 dont mind the black circles, just for my reference as those are still flaws and the basecoat is going to be black so its got to be perfect! I bit the bullet and ordered some expensive paint for this, but that is a surprise for later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
