I needed a break from my longtime-project, Mercedes Benz Wrecker, so I looked into my pile of kits and found this old Fury. It needed a little TLC as you can see....

(sorry about that big first picture)

So, with a new #11 and some dremeling along with a major parts inventory here's what it looks like right now.....

Now... Q is, should I let the roof remain stock or should I chop it? Or, should I go all the way and make it a Starbird-inspired Bubble-top Custom???

I still haven't decided on the grille-treatment, but I guess a pretty simple ribbed grille would look decent, right?

And...maybe repeat that theme for the rear?

Any input welcome!

I've finally decided on making this one into a "starbird-inspired" Bubbletop-custom. I've also extended the fins a little.

Leave the top alone and go with what you pictured already. Ed Shaver

Very sorry to disappoint You Ed, but the stock roof is already long gone!!!! I'm a big fan of Darryl Starbird and his bubbletop-customs, so I'll stick to that theme. BTW I'm doing a '62 Chrysler 300 that way as well..... :lol:
