Koellefornia Kid Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 Please don´t take the following creation too serious! It was just some fun I had with a ´41 Lincoln convertible glue bomb I got from ebay and a Black Force snapper I bought just for the wheels some years ago. The idea was to build something like a weird 1/64th custom Hot Wheels die cast. I transplanted the roof and trunk section of the Black Force onto the Lincoln body, extended the rear fenders with angled AMT ´57 Bel Air custom taillights and added ´57 Chevy rear wheel wells. Exhaust tips were scratch built from Evergreen tubes, the rear Bumper is a ´49 Mercury overrider. Wheels and bumper bullets came from my parts box. The Ford V8 from Revell´s ´55 Panel truck was topped with a scratch built air cleaner. To be honest, I didn´t have something like a concept to do this, I just wanted to get rid of some scrap parts from my stash and this was the outcome... I called it „Weird Science“, though there was no science involved here...
Olderisbetter Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 At first I wasn't even going to view it. But you did a helluva job there. I'm very impressed.
Foxer Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 I like it .. it's in the spirit of customs from long ago.
TarheelRick Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 That could have easily been built in a late 50's-early 60's back-street body shop by someone wanting to make their name in the full custom world. The overall design fits that era of customs very well. Excellent work. One question, have you sectioned the hood? It appears to be thinner than the one on my plastic bag kit.
donb Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 Very creative for sure. Totally different and very cool at the same time.
bbowser Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 I like everything but the taillights. Great custom!

Dave G. Posted November 25, 2018 Posted November 25, 2018 I don't even care for 40's and 50's Lincolns but that thing is awesome !
David G. Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Excellent work. With that profile it could have easily been a Batmobile. David G.
