Next WIP Do You Know What Body It Is ?

[Metalmad]

Hello everyone !

This will be my next build that I will be starting in the near future after I get the Shelby Mustang finished which I hope to do soon. So in the mean time I got this resin kit at the NNL in Chatsworth May 3rd and I thought it would be a neat project to tackle since I have never worked with a resin kit before & this will take a lot of scratch building and kit bashing so this will be a long project to tackle.

Can anyone guess what it is ? One hint is that it is a 1952 body

Looks to be a 1952 Pontiac chiefton

Here's my guess. 1952 Pontiac Chieftain Station Wagon.

Like this one:

Nice!

That's the latest Best Resins piece! I have his 50 Olds wagon... absolutely beautiful resin work. I cannot find a flaw anywhere. You'd swear it's plastic.

You mean Best Model Car Parts and Michael also has the gauge sets & license plates and yes they are nice pieces.

That would make a beautiful "Phantom" Pontiac 2 Door Cheiftan Wagon, I can visualize the stretched door with the door pillars moved back. I'm having a little difficulty seeing the rear set, maybe a longer single window or split the distance between the front and rear. Wouldn't take a ton of work to make a ton of difference in the looks either. I think I've seen renderings of either the more common Chevrolet wagon done as a two door, thinking late eighties to mid nineties Street Rodder magazine. Would really go with your tubbed chassis either Pro- Street / Touring setup, always wondered why GM never did any 2 Door 50's Wagons earlier than the '55 Chev.
