took a 49 merc woody kit and a front from a 49 ford coupe, then i had a resin 51 ford i hadnt built yet so i molded and made me a 51 grille, use the alumilite mini casing kit. whalla, i make relief cuts here and there sometimes to widen, flatten, shift and narrow. enjoy, ford has another idea. built on 2/26/17

resin 56 plymouth fury from starmodel. i had a jada 06 camaro given to me by a fellow modeler micheal. was sitting near the 56 body i had gotten out of the box and was thinking of building. the wheel wells looked close, and were right there, so i was off and running. if i could get it to start, thought i might take it to goodguys to run the road course. it has the complete interior, motor and chassie under that resin body. lot of tweeking to get that body to slid over all the way. for those real techs that analyze, i build models that are different, and look sharp sitting on the shelf with the other 500 plus displayed. been doing it since i was a kid and really enjoy building 1960 and older. thanx damodelguy in fotki
