There it is a 10 footer, or is it 45?

Thumbs up. I personally call kits that I think look good from a far, 'top shelfers'. 

You've done an outstanding job given the lump of resin you started with. 

[Oldmopars]

I think most of us would have thrown that pile into the trash bin long ago. You did a great job of making this into something you can be proud of.

Good job.  You had to overcome how rough it was and then dropping it. For most either would have been a show stopper.  An interesting phantom body style.

Great effort! It paid off, I reckon. 

Nice job. Makes me fear the resin body on my shelf slightly less, now.

The "Sloper" body style is very Australian, like the Ute.

[bobthehobbyguy]

Interesting I was aware of ute's but never heard of slopers.

Here's a few, Chevy, Pontiac, Dodge & Ford. Basically fastbacks.

Thanks for showing the photos of the real slippers as I personally had never seen that roof profile before. We're those produced in the USA?

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. On to the next one.

While I was at it I redid the blown 427 from the 39 Hot Rod kit like this. The OBX intake, water pump and front cover are 3D prnted by Ron Olsen. I wonder if that intake would even work on an old time 427 and if there ever was one with a distributor.
