Hey!!! Where did those 5 spoke wheels come from??

I thought that you were going with stock hubcaps???

BTW: I prefer the 5 spoke...

Later,

Payback huh ??

Those wheels look pretty deep!!

Which set of meats are you going with? (Inquiring minds want to know...)

Hi Raul

The deep whites were there just to confuse you -LOL .

As you see in the previous pic, the white centers were cut out to install in the red backing plates, and then the deep whites were discarded.

Still going with the "whites and caps". Sorry I confused you . Just wanted to show the detail.

Got the rear suspension completed today, and the wheel/tires installed. Everything even sits flat and square. Imagine that .

I love it when a plan comes together. Still have to finish the front suspension and add the tires.

Then I'll start on foiling the rear fins and the fender spears on the tops of the front fenders.

Getting closer

Either way, it's a GREAT looking build!!

I can't wait to see it sitting next to my '57 Cameo at the NNL West in March!!

Your '57 would clean house on me at any contest, but they would look nice together.

Your Cameo is a stunning build and is painted one of my favorite colors .

Be good ya'll - Dave

I don't know that I'd take that bet...but thanks for the compliment!

Yes, since they're both built on the same chassis, have the same engine, drivetrain, color...they would look GREAT sitting together!!

As far as colors go, RED wins!! Period.

I was lazy today and got next to nothin' done. Stormy and rainy and I get sleepy and take naps. Maybe I'll do something tomorrow- retirement is great

Hi All

Well were getting close here. I'm just slow LOL.

Foil is done. More chrome added on, and the windshield is blacked around the edges and tinted. Tape is still on - hope it turned out OK. Need to finish the front suspension, and glue in the windshield and then put the interior/chassis in the body and add the mirrors, door handles, etc, and we may be done - if I didn't forget something

Anyway, a day or two and I will be wrapping this up. It's been fun .

Last pics before she's done.

Dave, you should have had this cast in resin, I would have bought one of these kits. From what I can tell so far it looks awesome.

[E St. Kruiser50]
