Good idea,thanks for the idea.

Sounds really strange but i`ll take your word for it. There was some minor adjustments with the C-pillars,but when i did the test fit i taped the glass onto the roof,as a jig if you want. It fit really well,the A-pillars only needed a millimeter or so adjustment,pushed inwards to fit the line of the original molding. Another thing i do is mount a pillar one at a time,this gives room for those small adjustments needed for the final fit. Edit. Yes you are right about the engine. But i will be using it for a 62 4 door conversion.

Started this basket case some days ago. I wanted a bubble top to go with the convertible,but thought the ones for sale was either too good do try this on,or too bad and not worth the dollar. Had this spare convertible parts car and plenty of 62 Bel Air parts cars to use as a donor. First thing was to stretch the wheelbase,Buick has 123" vs Chevrolet 119",i found it`s enough to extend the frame rails from the firewall and forward,the chassisplate it self fit like a glove (well,not really but in lenght. I cut the transmission tunnel off the Bel Air chassis so i can use the original Buick interior tub. I have to fix the wiperpanel,one rear wheelarch,the lettering on hood and trunk are sanded off,make new moldings to run from A to B pillars and lower surround for the rear glass. Will be using the engine compartment and firewall from the Bel Air too,needs a little file and sand,or adjustments before i will go ahead and glue it to the body,this is just a rough mock up so far. As far as the engine goes i thought of use the engine from a 65-66 Wildcat or the 67 Riviera,but with the older style valve covers and air cleaner + the transmission. Well,here is where i`m at now. I have not primed anything for first impression,also the ugly tape is on,honest mess if you want lol.

Got this 59 to have sit next to the 60. The seller told me the skirts where not heavy glued,hopefully it`s true.

It looks fantastic,mirror shine.

Agree,the later stuff is a bit more heavy and Pete is a great guitar player.

Really nice build Bill. I thought they all came with black dash and the panels in front of doorpanels when they had white interior. Google is a jungle of referance pictures,but obviously not every car out there is genuine,or restored by as how they left the factory.

I think it`s refered to as AOR. Good old radio classics.

If you read the thread you quoted you will see how this guy goes around. Scam people out of money.

Recently finish an attempt in resin so a styrene model would be a nice add on,but i am not holding my breath for it to happen. I suspect we are more likely to see a new 70 Charger over this.

Really nice Lincoln.

Really nice Pontiac Joe. Looks like it means business. Plan to do one in springfield green poly,not sure if its a 72 color.

Cool Porsche,like the green and the wheels.

Really cool build,lot`s of little details to study.

Really nicely done Dart. I assume this is how the hemi roll off the factory.

Really cool build.

Perfect color combo,very nice 50 Ford.

Very nice Cobra. I like the how you keep the hood open,looks better then those fat toothpics lol.

Cool model,woodies and surfing goes good together.

Great choice of color and wheels,very nice Nova.

I love everything about it,fantastic model and workmanship.

Good looking Mopars.

Very nice olds Jan. I see you figure out the cooling/air-con hoses. Work on this kit and dont see them in the instructions.

Cool.but the tires and wheels make it look like a bad die-cast.

Rake set and powerplant mock up. Need a new mount for the transmission and figure out the route for the exhaust.
