That's incredible, fantastic job!

Yes, but then it would look like the Revell convertible custom kit which comes with a carson top.

The proportions are perfect in that side shot.

I've got a white mostly complete gluebomb somewhere. I didn't realize it earlier because the body is painted, but the frame, engine, and interior are white.

This is one of my grail kits, so I'm happy to see your's getting built. I like that spring mod. Looking great Bob!

This has got to be the most detailed build up of this kit, ever. Great work!

It's surprising how many of the pieces shown here I still have lying around in a box somewhere. I didn't care much for them as a kid.

That right there is the problem. In real life it would be be maybe 3 1/4 to 3 1/2 inches out of the B pillar and 4 out of the C. They would be fiddled with until it looked right. I imagine many engineers could get this right. Whomever did this one, didn't. I saw a pic of a newly built '48 that was supposed to be retro, or traditional, or something, with the same chop Revell did on the kit. Take a look at this ( its a Mercury, but close enough ) and you can see how much better the lines are. It looks like the B pillar was chopped a smidge more than the A. Laying back the rear of the roof and window goes a long way towards the overall look.

One of the folks on TRaK did what you're asking. Basically he added plastic strips to the side windows and then reshaped them, fixed the hump as has been discussed above, and he raised the top of the windshield opening since it's incorrect in the kit. It was a bit more complicated, but that pretty much described it. It made a world of difference. Sorry, I can't find the thread on it, it was shortly after the kit was released.

One of them used to be the original Monogram 55 Chevy until I got one from Bob Black over at TRaK. The Yellow Jacket is probably a priority now, but I really want any of the vintage Revell Drag double kits. I've got enough parts packs to make a couple of them, but I'd really like an intact kit.

So far so good, but I thought you didn't build anything but 40 Fords

Despite all the "no" posts voting is tied at this moment.

Happy to see some progress, even if it's small

Nice work on moving the wheelwells

The MPC 50 Merc cop car snap kit has the dash too. Lousy pic and not my model.

Until the day of the interwebs I said "real". Good grief, "interwebs", I sound like Richard Rawlings.

Dang that has an aggressive look! Love it.

All of those are great Bob, but I'm partial to the Son of Ford. It seems to be the rarest of the bunch. Great job....and I'm a bit jealous

Verlinden has a nice porta potty

Eeew. The builder said “I took two cars that were beyond repair and cut them up to make one good one.” I think he got that backwards.

Nice, Dennis. I liked the first version, but it was missing something...it didn't really show off your style or talent. I really like your choice of parts. That firewall is an excellent idea, and the headers and mags should look great. Good job!

Bill's right. Back when I painted the real thing I used 3M Pink Fill-n-Glaze. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/tes-05990?seid=srese1&cm_mmc=pla-google-_-shopping-_-srese1-_-3m&gclid=CjwKCAjw4KvPBRBeEiwAIqCB-RuXBV_mZt-aWvehJu32PkkUx2ikJ7O7r2s5tUgz_fBMLhAmnkyMFxoChnAQAvD_BwE

I got some polymer clay nail art fruit for one of these. They're a bit big, but they should look pretty good when the whole build is done. https://www.ebay.com/i/253082761438?chn=ps&dispItem=1

That rod version is really unique KK, and totally unexpected!

He's on facebook. Outstanding builder. https://www.facebook.com/bill.stillwagon?fref=search
