Porscheman Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 This is a Blvd. Resin transkit. The kit comes with a beautifully done body, complete interior, bumpers and headlights. the bumpers and headlights need plating, I Alclad mine. The glass is from an AMT 58 Chevy and the chassis is a modified Revell 58 Chevy. I used almost a half a sheet of Bare Metal Foil. All in all, a very well done kit and for $50.00 a must have for Cadillac lovers. Thanks for looking Al Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Hosted on Fotki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Great looking color. Love the cars of that era but the models will use a LOT of foil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 It looks awesome. I wouldn't mind building one. For me foil is almost for free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLes Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Looks fantastic, I couldn't do that much foil. I'm still having trouble with windshields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carmak Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Useless trivia: I had a 58 Fleetwood parts car years ago. There is no sheet metal behind those massive qtr panels. They are screwed on along the top and have a couple angled supports.at the bottom. Also the skirts are nearly as heavy as a cylinder head.

MrObsessive Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 (edited) Very nice work Al! One of my favorite '50's Cadillacs! I checked out their Facebook page and they've got some very interesting offerings! That Lincoln Mark V looks like it has some potential, and I may look into that one further.

StevenGuthmiller Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 How did I miss this? Nice work Al! I'm guessing that this is a copy of the Johan promo. I have one of the X-EL versions that I built probably more than 25 years ago that I want to re-do. You're correct, it was a butt load of foiling to do. Can't say that I'm looking forward to doing it over again. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
