Much much better! The springs are setup to go on one way. The axles and spring perches have bosses to locate the axle one way. We'll, they're backwards from the way they should be. I sanded them out and flipped the axle around. I don't like the metal axles going across, so that will be eliminated.

Tinkering with grille/bumper ideas. This grille looks good, but i think it leaves a little to be desired ?. I really like the bumpers. I would like to get it lower. I think the wheels i have fit on there are too big. These will allow it to sit lower, especially in the back, and retain a reasonable steering ability.

Dude! This takes me right back to the mid '80s and the Quick 8 Door Slammers! I'm digging it!

I Absolutely LOVE this build!

That's why we keep all those magazines around! Supper cool build. I had never heard of a Baldwin Buick either.

Great looking Long Roof!

Probably ought to make it look like an oil slick underneath. They're not called Driptroits for no reason ?

I'll have brisket please ?

Too Cool!!!!

Cool! Thank you for the tips!

THAT is sharp!

WHOA!

The coupe was a killer build! Yours is looking good! I've got a GTX kit I'm not going to use the decals from. You're more than welcome to them.

Cool project! Even cooler that you got to drive one!

The frame detail is AWESOME!

The lighter blue SCREAMS '60s to me.

That's a great idea about letting her pick the color.

@Ace-Garageguy & @M W Elky Thank You for your reference photos. I'm not digging the "way back" position at all. I'll straighten this out when I'm back home. @Ace-Garageguy I'm looking forward to trying it. I was just watching a couple of videos on YouTube about gradient painting. This guy makes it look real easy. https://youtu.be/WOds7UCdGuU?si=B_vcnO8P3AM7kjye

Doing more research on the front axles placement. Maybe it's how the engineer designed it to look for the kit? I'm going to attempt a paint job similar to the gold one.

What are your thoughts on the gold glue? Where did you find the markers? The car looks great!

One thing you can do with your flocking is use the same color paint as the flocking used. Paint a section, then put the flocking on. That way if there's a light spot, it's hard to tell.

I picked up some Alclad Black Chrome I'm going to try on something soon.

Those look good painted with Molotow chrome.

I absolutely LOVE a 5 window!

We are road tripping this week. I brought 2 kits and 3 engines to build while parked in the evening. I built one of these for my Daughter In Law last year for her office. I really like this kit. I am going to make a few changes though. I dropped the front end and may drop the rear a tad. I've got a a blown big block Chevy from ICEMAN for Projext X, so the Blown 392 may find it's way into this one...or, a dual plug Hemi for some REAL go fast! I got to visit with Rob Ida on Friday. Super nice guy! He has his Willys he built in his show room.
