TooOld Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) Been working on this for a few months and finally finished it . It's an original creation by Fritz Schenck who designed and built it emulating Ed Roth's style , he even used wire and plaster to construct the body before covering it with fiberglass ! Here's an article describing the car : http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/featuredvehicles/0601rc_roswell_rod/ And a link to his site with some more photos : http://spritzbyfritz.com/ I used the resin body parts from a kit that Fritz sells but I used parts from a dozen different kits to build the engine and chassis . I scratchbuilt the 4 - link rear and coil - overs and the finned brake drums are from Scenes Unlimited . The paint is a mix of Yellow and Tangerine with a little pearl added . I finished it with two coats of Future . So here's the finished build . . . I hope you like it ! Edited February 15, 2020 by TooOld Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finished this about 3 - 4 weeks ago but painted it a nasty looking reddish orange . It got very positive responses but I had to repaint it the correct color before I was happy with it .

ratdoggy Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Very nice. Fritz (the builder/owner) is a good guy I met him at the Cleveland IX center and spoke to him for probably a half hour (we are both from Long Island) about how we don't miss living there anymore.
