I love Foose builds.  Can't wait to see how this turns out.   !!

TCB,

Any progress on this one!? Really curious where you are with it.

I'm sure you've seen it already, Rodney, but just in case you haven't, the latest Rodder's Journal has a detailed article on a  baremetal full fendered display car.

  I love how this is working out - your surgery is beautiful!

Cheers

I love the smell of cut plastic!  Looking real good.

Wow that is a ton of cutting, looking good from here. Intereting approach. Like JC asked, can you make another body out of the cut up left overs?

I went back through the thread.RRR you said you finished it. But I don't see any finished photos in underglass.

You know I checked https://public.fotki.com/jferren/32-phanton/ and will have a conversation with @Rocking Rodney Rat about the status of this project! @Dennis Lacy we need to get to the bottom of this -KK

@Rocking Rodney Rat this is where you left us!

When will it be back on your bench? -KK

I love phantoms! I'm really interested in this one! Maybe I'm looking at it too simply. But, couldn't a person take the AMT Phaeton body, fill in the old door lines and scribe in the 3 window door lines? Then use the Revell interior and chassis?

To achieve the "Foose body" - no. That's the short answer.

Now, as much as I love Foose's work and talent, this is yet another plagiarism of his, writing his name on something originally created by Boyd Coddington. Originally the idea was a collaboration between Bob Kolmos and Boyd, which Boyd made a reality, without Foose involvement. 

The AMT tub and for that matter the original '32 Phaeton body has different shape than what Boyd originally created and Foose put his name on years after Boyd died. 

This is the Bob Kolmos Phantom Phaeton created from an original steel Tudor Sedan.
