Thank you much David. I'm actually a newbie to old school hot rods - - heck I even had to look up what the difference is between chopped, channeled, and sectioned! But I do love stuffing beautiful weird engines into cars and showcasing them, and this one came out looking pretty sleek.

Thank you much gentlemen. I really enjoyed building this one, and the name didn't reveal itself until the last graphic went on

Thank you much Sir

Another beauty Claude! You did to the Buick what Chip Foose did to the Impala with his Impostor. If he sees your build, he is totally liable to copy it 1:1

Sweet n' low, just like I like it!

Total Mopar beauty! I was always partial to the 383 hemi, although most liked the 440.

Thank you much Alan

Why thank you Sir

This one started with an Iceman Collections 3-D printed fantasy motor that looked too sweet to hide under a hood. It went together nicely with a '32 Ford tranny grafted on. Put in front of a Jimmy Flintstone chopped 5 Window Coupe body (NB213), and the two seemed just made for each other. The frame, interior, and miscellaneous bits came from the ubiquitous Revell 5-Window Coupe 2'n 1 kit. The frame was stretched 6mm to accomodate the V12, but otherwise required little else in terms of modifications. The toughest part was channeling the body over the frame rails, and altering the interior to fit. The front tires were from an AMT Wire Wheels & Whitewalls customizing set, while the rears were from an AMT Racemaster Dragster Slicks set. Once completed with its long and lean good looks, graphics were applied from various sources, and "Betty Lou" was ready to debut. In Bob Seger's words; I got the story here It's hot off the press Brace yourself now And take a deep breath Grab a hold of something Hold on tight Betty Lou's gettin' out tonight

Way cool Andreas! Your doors open like a Koenigsegg and are my favorite feature of your build. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely fantastic Martin! The concept, weathering, attention to detail, photos - - - all incredible!!!

Thank you gentlemen.

Great build, and I love the split front windshield!

Bad to the bone!

Beautiful paintjob and stance!

Absolute beauty Bob! I love the paintjob. BTW, how did you paint the diff and air scoop? That's a real nice weathered effect you achieved.

Absolutely beautiful Kenneth! And I dig the backdrop

Beautiful paintjob and detail!

Dennis, I've been looking forward to seeing this car done for a while, and it came out GREAT! I love the front end and the flying buttresses in particular.

SEMA worthy beauty!

I love it Carl, it looks downright plum crazy!

A very classy beauty Justin! Wonderful color combo.
