Hey all, here's what I've been working on these past few weeks. This one has been an on again off again box hugger for several years so I finally decided to dig in and get it done.

As always questions, comments and spirited discussion is most welcome. Thanks for looking.

Nice over the top 50s-60s custom car! This one has every trick in the customizers' bag-o-tricks thrown at it, and I love it! The interior is my favorite aspect, and I do believe I spy some AMT 58 Impala custom bits in there. The one no-no that nags me is the fact you added a flare to the radiused rear wheel opening but didn't repeat the flare on the front wheel opening; George Barris is rolling over in his bubbletop coffin.

That is stunning...just stunning! I don't really dig the early '60s wild customs but I really like this one for some reason. Captures the era perfectly and your workmanship is superb. Well done and model on! B)

Outstanding Ron, I love it! I'm glad you finally got this one finished, I've been admiring it since you started the WIP over at TRaK. ?

Wow, is right! I’ll join in with Phil above...

It is great to see that version built now of such a classic kit. Nowadays we certainly have more modern kits, but they don’t build up anywhere close to your rendition. A treat to see! 
Cheers Misha

Love the custom work you did on this good ol' '55 , and that metallic purple paint is a blast from the past !  Definitely "Top Shelf" ! :D

Over the years, I've seen many kits like this with wild custom options. As a youngster, I even bought a few. 

I don't think I've ever seen one built to completion using all (or most) of the custom bits.

This one is completely over the top and exceedingly well done!

This style is not my particular cup of tea but it is a spectacular manifestation of the designer's vision.

Spot on from every angle!
