MGL Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) As Aaron would say, this car needed an altitude adjustment. I also added some modern wheels and a Hearst shifter. Other than that its stock. The chassis pan was warped and I got it as straight as I could but I didn't notice the frame bowed down in the front until I was putting the thing together. I also completely spaced on the ejector pin marks on the inner fenderwells. Maybe some day I will revisit this one. I kind of wish I had done a lace pearl on the roof but maybe next time. I flipped the spindles over to lower the front and added lowering blocks in the rear. I also scratch built some disc brakes for the front. Thanks for looking, comments and criticism's welcome.

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Very nice!I love the color scheme!The silver top with the black & the red interior is a classic combo & it looks "right" on this car.Nice work! Steve
rmvw guy Posted October 3, 2015 Posted October 3, 2015 Nice model. The white top gives it a good clean look. Nice foil work.

SteveSorry, at first glance I thought the top was silver.White is just as nice!I use white for tops a lot. Steve
MGL Posted October 3, 2015 Author Posted October 3, 2015 (edited) Looks sweet, take long to foil?I did this and a 54 Hudson at the same time so I set aside most of a Saturday to do both. This one did not have very crisp lines for the trim but I hear the later issues are much sharper. I haven't built one though so I can't confirm that. The trim that runs along the top of the fenders and back around the fins had almost no engraved detail in most spots.Thanks for all the kind words, I'm hoping after sitting on the shelf awhile most of the bend in the chassis will go away and I will try to correct that poor fit of the fenderwells to the body.
