Check again; the Edsel part is just the headlight surround. The headlights are Riviera units laid horizontally, which I find too cool!

Thanks guys, front bumper is a modified 57 Desoto.

Great idea for the tail lights. What was it you used for the source of the lens ?  

Carved them from a transparent red stir stick

Thanks, I'll have to go looking for some.

the Aurora Parts pack wire wheels are a real treasure IMHO, and their chrome reverse steels are top notch too.

great choice for a custom.

Excellent!  Great, creative, out-of-the-usual box ideas.

L00king forward to watching this evolve further!

I had an idea, thought, daydream whatever that would not leave me alone. REALLY wanted to have a chrome surround with a lip on it for the taillights 

I have never tried incorporating brass and copper into a model but figured it was worth trying. 
 

.005 brass sheet and.030 copper wire.  This is still roughing it in but I think it’s going to be ok  

I try and get the plastic to shape as much as possible before going to filler.  For ease and not hearing the wife about fumes I used milliput for the shaping l. Really starting to like it
