Shot some primer just to see everything blended in

Were I am with this Kustom. One side so far. I want to see how it looks before doing both. The taillight will ride right above the bumper giving the corners a sunken look. Might blend in the splash pan,we will see how the rest looks with primer first.

Final step was to polish both pieces to yield a smooth casting, specialy with the clear lense

Made using sheet styrene

Tail light patterns finished. Lense will be cast in clear red

Thank you. You should check out my other work. I am a pattern maker. Not clothing but car parts. Mostly engine parts like valve covers

Any lower and would have been a nightmare to get the roof to flow with the rear glass. I had to use a section from a 49 merc roof and some reshaping to the plastic. It was my first 50 Olds and a headache for I was driving blind. At theend im very happy. Now for the smalker kustom touches.

Used the Revell kit. I rounded the front fender to much at the wheel opening and will get corrected to look more like the real fender,will be droping it some while at it. Nor sure how much i choped or or removed from the deck lid when pie sectioned. Skirts will get extended downwards and quater reworked to accept kustom taillight bezels.

Gee! Thanks! I nailed it after all. That was my intention. I broke the chop apart twice because I wasnt happy with it. Kept at it for months like all my chops till I felt pleased.

Ill let the pics do the rest of the talking,..I'm not even half ways with the work just wanted to see it in primer?? 1940 Ford Kustom with photo etch Caddy LaSalle gril (not shown)

Skirts kill the flow imo

Thanks. Dont miss it ?

Agree

Thanks. My favorite model to chop and have fun with. I like the challenge

Say no more. Gave it a quick primer job and it looks even better all blended together.

My 40 ford,..so far only a chop,more subtle work to be done.

Thanks! ?

When the top portion came down the rear of the window was misaligned. So i cut out a square portion,removed some from the front of it to push it foreward to lign up with the top piece. Filled the back from it being moved to fill the gap made from the material I removed up front to allow the mentioned square section to be moved foreward.. The bottom was material i removed to make the cut flat. I can draw it out for you if you like. Im happy to share my techniques. And thank you. I try my best

Thank you

Im not here to take any ones nick name. Im here to show my work and dedication. Im also a pattern maker, but that a different story. Thanks for brining that up
