I would fill in the gap..the new opening is the pancake .. not filling in the gap would take away from the grill opening. Just my two cents..and pls don't put it on the back burner. James aka Joker oh..blushing ..I didn't know I could inspire...LOL

Picture taken at last nites Richmond Automotive Modelers Society (R.A.M.S) meeting by club member Sir George. Made a tire cover out of a spare tire cover from a 32 Vicky(silver). The black one is from a 36 Ford,it came in second...LOL First I traced a dime then I penciled in the pattern. Scribed out the pattern with a #11 X-Acto blade Next..sand ..primer and paint Been thinking of making the 3 square cans for display too i.e. * Gas * Oil * H2O * James aka Joker

Keeping an eye on your build Jeremiah. I'm working on a AMT 56 Ford Crown Vicky myself. James aka Joker

Gorgeous ! Love the rounded hood and trunk lids... the opened up wheel arches and section give it a sporty look..well done. The sunken rear plate is a nice touch. The flipper wheel covers can be found in the 40 Ford panel. James aka Joker

Found this review online...same AMT 56 Ford Kit http://blog.modeljunkyard.com/2011/02/11/56-ford-fairlane-crown-victoria-125-from-amt/

Thin ....less problems that way

Been following your build.. working on a AMT 56 too...mine is going the custom route The painted spokes made the whole car take on a different look. Great work on the paint choice. James aka Joker

Here you go Thor.. Still working on the rim/wheels...then red scallops.. James aka Joker

Great topic Doc.. Hot fun in the Summer time ! [media=]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ahhmiuyko0&feature=related Cooler is iced..loading up the wagons James aka Joker

The 58 Impala custom pieces look good in the 59 Thor. The front end is looking clean without the air vents in front.. that's what the grill is for...right ! Keep up the great body work. James aka Joker

Thanks for the link o" Mighty Thor. The Fink Wagon is gorgeous ! Can't wait for the engine update. James aka Joker

Thanks Bob..hope the paint won't give me any grief....Ha ha ha I had added louvers to the hood but they looked too proud and out of scale. Just leaving the peaked center and go from there.

Thanks fellas.. Some interior work and trunk work. penciled in the pattern on the rear tray and broke out the #11 X-Acto added three diamonds to the dash ...just for giggles Not a nuts and bolts replica of "The Victorian by the Alexander Bros." but more of a tribute custom. James aka Joker

Ditto..thanks for posting up your collection.. We would like to see more interior and engine shots too. James aka Joker
