LOVE the chassis and engine work! I take it that this is the Trumpeter kit?

Looks great so far!

I'm assuming that this is the Trumpeter kit?

Did you do anything to correct the horrible hardtop dimensions on this kit?

Excellent detailing on the chassis. Look forward to seeing the rest of your build.

Thanks for Your comments. Yes it is the Trumpeter kit released in 2003. I have already read about the incorrect dimensions of the body, especially in the rear window section etc. but I am not sure that my skills are good enough to take the body apart and do the work, Trumpeter should have done... so I will try my very best converning engine and interior detailing along with a good paint job.

Ludwig it's up to you, but somewhere in the deep, dark recesses of my hard disc, I have pics of someone who drew out the dimensions on the body (exactly where to cut and all) and replaced the roof with one off of the Revell '59 Chevy. It's similar to what I did with my '59 Chevy, except I used the roof off of the '60.

If you'd like, I can post them here..........I can understand though if you don't want to tackle that as it can be a task!

Not at all sure how I missed this.  Great looking so far
