Tried to build a scale replica of Roger Trawick´s „Electracutioner“, a  ´62 Buick Electra,  tasteful customized the Bellflower way:

Unluckily I messed up the paint job, body color turned out way too dark:

The model features a scratch built tube grille with the kit´s Lucas headlights, scratch built Bellflower exhaust pipes, Pegasus Sovereign wheels and scratch built custom taillights (the owner/builder calls them „Isno“ taillights, they appear to  be chrome but are fully functional). Also tried to copy the original interior and upholstery including a Beatniks Koolsville club plaque.

Definitely not my best model but it was fun build. Hope you like it.

Good job on the replica.  The club plaque is a nice touch.  It is a pretty cool custom.  I have seen this custom at several Northern California car shows over the last few years.

I do envy you a little bit :rolleyes: I only got my Traditional Rod And Kulture Magazine, where it was featured, and the www to have a look at this beauty... And now my display case, of course.
