TooOld Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 That's pretty awesome and an excellent conversion ! You definitely nailed the look with the wood and all of the trim work . The roof rack is pretty impressive as is the entire build , great work ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted May 6, 2014 Share Posted May 6, 2014 You're the "Wagon Master". Not only you build fantastic Longroofs, actually many of them are a result of a hard conversion rather than a ready resin body. Really nice work here with all of the scratchbuilding and it paid off. This looks like real car. Excellent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
