I found a 50 Ford "Showboat" kit for $9.99 at Ollie's Bargain Barn and couldn't resist buying it. I decided to make a custom using the custom front end, extended hood, and custom top from an original 1960's kit. They are better molded parts, since they were made when the tooling was new. The top is not included in the Showboat kit, but a rear window for it is on the clear tree. The old one was cracked and glued on tight, but a day in the freezer helped me get it loose. Here's a mockup of the car. I had painted the old parts green back then for some reason - testing the paint, maybe? Not sure of color scheme, but I think I'll  two-tone it with a white top and some other body color. Suggestions welcome!
