Still shaping and designing as I go. I'm thinking some molded in head lights and maybe Thunderbird tail lights...

Thanks Guys! I'll keep it going the best I can, until my ADHD kicks in!

Small update, found some fenders and mounts...

Good for you Carl, keep her memories alive. Family lives matter!

Oh you know I'm watching!

Thanks guys, I was thinking that or maybe some kind of a pod behind the tire.

Perfectly painted and the wash is great, looking good man!

Well after some cement spillage i managed to get the bubble top up on wheels. Not quite right yet but this was more of a challenge than I expected! Fitting will continue...

Great story, even better getting them back and best of all a brilliant save! I will enjoy following this one.

I like it too! I would ask why the chrome drip rail but not the belt line?

Thanks guys, and I yours Carl!

Thank you everyone, I do appreciate the comments.

Thanks guys, that's a wrap for this one can be seen in under glass....

This started as a $5 swap meet bomb, I was very reluctant to do the chop for all the reason we have heard. To hard, not necessary, You'll screw it up.... But for five bucks and some styrene nights I think it turned out pretty good. It is by no means perfect or close for that matter, but... I think I have learned enough to attempt another chop on a Revell kit this time... I took about a 3" chop on the roof, the skirts or from my stash of vintage wheel skirts the wheels are from my parts box. The blue is a mix of Tamiya Mica Blue and clear over silver and the white is TS Racing White. It is a slammer for the sake of finishing it up and moving on to the next project. I added my own chrome trim and drip edge also.

In an attempt to finish another one, I have got things close to mounting windows and buttoning this up. It has jumped the shark though and become a slammer, with no chassis detail or engine...

Looking good, I'm liken your technique also.

That looks pretty good, nice job. It is interesting how many different ways this car can be built!

Nice!

Very Cool and impractical, but that is the point of a show rod right!

Comfy!

Sooooooooooooooo Cleeaann!

Thanks Rob, and I just couldn't resist a little mock up.

Very nicely done....

A little more plastic shaping last night...
