Claude Thibodeau Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 HI! One of my favorite design, the 53 Stude... but this time, converted to a contemporary custom Roadster! AMT trash bin find, that missed the hood. Therefore, a 49 Ford unit was modified to fit, and blended with a customized front end. Rear tulip panel is made of removed roof panel. Full width flush-fit rear stoplight and custom roll pan. Extended sills, scratchbuilt door panels & console. Custom removable hard top. Tamya's pearl + Testor's wetlook clear. Stude engine straddled with custom Weber injection from 65 Grand-prix. Fully wired. Custom alum exhaust. Maisto rolling stock. Hours of fun with styrene!

Peter Lombardo Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Pretty cool, crazy little "pinpoint" headlights are very different. Nice color, rather subdued but fits it well. Sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
