  1. thanks for the compliments, hope to have it wearing paint tomorrow
  2. thanks virg.. now i look at it the more the trim seems out of place, but i want to keep some bright work....thoughts?
  3. ill say this the grille from the amt 55 cameo, fits like it was desinged for the kit. im still undecided as to which im going to use. but feel free to use the caddy grill idea, it WILL require some trimming.
  4. And of course itll have the shine thatll roast your eyes
  5. while the front and rear ends have been fairly re worked, since its neither chopped nor sectioned it would still classify as "mildly" customized, modified the grille by removing the center bar and fitted the 47 caddy grille from the revell 48 ford kit it its place. or i may use the grille from a 55 chevy cameo truck. still unsure, i also modifed the roll pan for use with the ugly ugly custom grille the kit comes with, to fit with the stock grille surround. and molded it in and filled the seams, same was done on the rear. the revell 48 allso donated its WWW's, and the revell 58 t bird donated the 3 bar spinner hubcaps. it has also been nosed and decked. Colour will be ice blue pearl, which i think is a nissan colour (dupont chroma base) interior flocked with model master flocking in 2 tone blue and beige.
