Al Hoffman Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Should have this one done shortly. It's a Jimmy Flintstone resin body. AMT '49 Ford donor. From there the interior & decals are from the Revell '49 Merc. Made my on tuck & roll dash top & package shelf. It will have a Parts Pack Cadillac engine. Can't remember where I got the trans from. In the process of adapting the '49 Ford exhaust to the engine & Lake's pipes. I am to the point now where everything I'm doing is fighting me so I'm going slow to hopefully not mess up.

JTalmage Posted August 13, 2015 Share Posted August 13, 2015 Beautiful so far! I've been tempted to get that body as well... but I don't have enough chassis/interiors to make more than 2 shoebox fords! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Hoffman Posted August 13, 2015 Author Share Posted August 13, 2015 This is one of his $15.00 bodies. Worth the money but it takes a lot to get it to this point. For instance, on mine the slots that the radiator support slide into were each about half full of resin. It all had to be carefully hogged out.

Roncla Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 That is coming together nicely. I recently bought the same Flinstone body and was pleasantly surprised at how good the body is. I can't find any flaws with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
