:lol: I think it was at Martinsville Speedway back in uh I beleive 92-3, there was a guy selling radios like that that looked like 59 Cadillacs. I took several pictures of the exibit too. He was also building some Desoto Couches similar to youre 63 Impala. Now if you were to perhaps do a den or rumpus room witha television set and some figgures , hey you would have it made ! Look , theres room for all aspects of this hobby in here. Just look at me I spend my time building service stations! Ed Shaver

Yeah, I had seen a 57 chevy like it. That's how I got the idea.

That looks good! Sure beats the one I started to do a while back out of an old 49 Merc. I never could get the seat to look right and just put it up before I took a hammer to it. Once I get back into the swing of things, I might have to dig it out and fiddle with it some more.

I was also doing a "Redneck Jacuzzi" out of an old Ford Pickup bed. I never could get that one to look right either. With the info on here about dioramas and what's available in the aftermarket now, I just might pull that one out too.
