crazyjim Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I finished this build last week just in time for the Jaxcon show - and I lost the pics. I cut the door post off so it would look like a hardtop. Front & rear rolled pans; frenched taillights; '62 Chrysler headlights (that I now cast); kit engine dressed up a little with a sorta '56 Caddy air filter that I also cast and a Fatkidd distributor. I make those little easel signs for every model. It reminds me of what's been done. So here's the pics - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
codie27 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Very nice build. I've just started my own custom 49, hope mine turns out as good as yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmvw guy Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Looking good Jim as always. These cars made a great looking custom and one of my favorite AMT models. Love your front end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thanks, Ron. The front end is somewhat different. I'm casting some '50 Olds headlight buckets so I can use them on the Hudson I'm building. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted February 7, 2013 Author Share Posted February 7, 2013 Thank you, Ray and Bob. The signs look cool at a show - especially when I use the mirrors and spotlights. Almost like a 1:1 show car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

realgone58 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Very nice, Jim. Love the canted quads and the air cleaner is killer! I may have to get one of those at the next meeting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 Another excellent build Jim, you always have personal touches on your builds and use body color on your chassis. Really sharp... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
