RodBurNeR Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 down to the finish it was getting to be a PIA. the windsheild didn't want to go up all the way because it's a tad too wide, the radiator support didn't fit but i made it fit, the interior tub doesn't have a tranny hump, so i MADE it work lol. being this is an old kit, the chrome has some fading and there are some minor scratches in the windows i could not buff out. overall.....i am happy with it, it felt good to finally pull this down and BUILD it! i hope you like....

MrObsessive Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Yeah those old Johan's can be fiddly to build near the end, but yours looks fantastic! Gotta love those '60 Desotos.........it was near the end of the line for 'em! I bet that green really looks electric in the sunlight!
Harold Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Glad to see it finished- it looks great. I had a windshield problem assembling my Lincoln, so I made one fro a 2- liter bottle. Final assembly is when the nightmares occur, but thankfully, you persevered and have a killer custom.
62SS Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Awesome!!!!! Now thats what Im talking about. Looks great. Ed

george 53 Posted July 26, 2008 Posted July 26, 2008 wow! really nice color! The BMF really came outgood too! I got one of those from Steve Kohler a while back but haven't done anything with it. Maybe that'll change now that I've had a chance to check your out!GREAT BUILD!
RodBurNeR Posted July 27, 2008 Author Posted July 27, 2008 thank you all for the great compliments! to sort of answer questions.. it's built from the original issue of the kit. the paint DOES look crazy in the sun LOL yep, i lowered it about 4-5inches? the front bumper used to mount above the chassis...it's below it now. the interior tub is so shallow, that it was easy to lower because of the gap between chassis and tub. thank you for referring to it as a KEMP, that is cool to read!
