afx Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Sorry for all the similar pictures but I like to make one revision at a time in hopes that I don't make a mistake and have to start over. Here I have refined the side window shape. As a reminder here is where we started. Edited August 26, 2015 by afx
Speedfreak Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 That actually makes quit a difference, much better.
rustybill1960 Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) I am in agreement, Your refinement is much better Thank You for sharing Later Russ Edited August 30, 2015 by rustybill1960 mis-spelling
Jonathan Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 And you're going to cast copies to sell, making our work so much easier after all that you've put into this? Very impressive!
afx Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 Thank you for the comments gentlemen. I have shown it to a resin caster and we are discussing a trans-kit - stay tuned.
cobraman Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 I like where this build is going. I am willing to clear out a spot in my best display cabinet and store it for you when you are finished with it. : )

afx Posted September 5, 2015 Author Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) Cut the side vents out of the Monogram 427 and grafted them into the 289. This effectively updates the car to a late '63/'64 car. Edited September 8, 2015 by afx
rustybill1960 Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 This build is looking real nice I like it Thank You for sharing Later Russ
250 Testa Rossa Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 Are you doing El Cid or a different version?
afx Posted September 7, 2015 Author Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks Russ.Maxx, yea my plan is to do El Cid but I have no idea at the moment where or even if I can get decals.
afx Posted September 9, 2015 Author Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Looks like HRM wants to do a Dragonsnake trans-kit. We are talking about the hardtop, body, wheel and tires as a kit. Stay tuned. Edited September 10, 2015 by afx
Len Woodruff Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Put me down for 1. I just got his 68 Shelby Convertible yesterday.

vamach1 Posted September 11, 2015 Posted September 11, 2015 I'd like to get a copy of that top. I bought some decals to do a Dragonsnake at the NJ NNL this year.
