Hey, guys....... I want to build a mild custom '48 Ford with a stock roof. There's not many pics online of these cars customized without chopping the roof. I'm looking for things like unique front and rear treatments. (I have the headlight buckets from the '62 Catalina, I'm thinking quad lights)... You guys have any pics you could share? They would be of inspiration to a lot of folks..... Thanks for any help!

It might would have a little shine to it, but you could try black foil......

Just found this album....... Good stuff!

This is a really nice build, David! One of these will be my next project....... The stance is perfect, how did you get it?

Thanks, Mike....... So all I'd need to lower the stock kit would be the parts you mentioned? I wouldn't need a complete custom kit, just those two parts? Thanks

Hey, guys...... I'm wondering about kit-bashing the custom '48 Ford with the stock one. I'd like a stock roof, but with the lowered suspension from the custom. Will these parts swap directly? also Will the custom's fade-away panels fit the stock body? Thank you for any help.........

Hey, Hanabi! Do you use these for your calligraphy? or do you have a set of pens just for that? Can you show us some more examples of your awesome handwriting? (Guys, this fellow is genius with a pen..........)

Thanks a bunch, Guys! I really appreciate the comments........... It really is a decent kit, you won't regret getting one......

You want to get some Tamiya tape, man...... it's probably the best. Sometimes I'll mask things with foil (only for about 1/4 inch as foil is tough to remove once you paint over it)

Thanks, Guys! Rob, it's actually two tone, it's metallic gray above the belt line..........

Here's a pic of the underside.........

Here's my Lindberg '37 finished...... It's a nice kit, I enjoyed it very much...... I buggered the back glass with glue so I'll display it as a roadster for now. Thanks..........

One more mockup before final assembly..... still going with the red interior, but the floor will be red to match the rest of it.

You could try to dull the finish of a sheet of chrome with a Scotch-Brite pad, then cut and apply......

More progress...... Got the gray on above the belt line, now I'm not really feeling the interior color. Maybe if I paint the carpet the same as the seats? What do you guys think? IDK, the interior doesn't feel the part now, it's a darker red than in the pics............

Today's progress! There is really no good way to glue the frame to just the fenders, it's meant to attach to the body itself......

It's Rob's Birthday today................

Thanks, Guys....... David, the interior is DupliColor vinyl dye over black primer.... I used a chrome pen for the door panels...........

and Here's the interior........... Plan is primer black on the body with the gray on the frame above the body's beltline........

Hey, Guys..... Just got this kit Saturday and have made some pretty good progress. The Charger build is on hold until I get some materials. This build will be OOB, just a fun, simple build......... Here's the frame pretty much done, still need to attach the exhaust.....

These are the decals that come in the Lindberg kit......... Flaming 8-Balls! What's cooler than that?

You mean there's other forums besides this one?

Hey, Jon.......... Mr. Geiger is asking about wheels in this post. The ones on his Geo look very similar to the ones you need.........

That's a pretty good deal! and It's practically the same kit............
