you know I havent seen too many of this bodystyle that I'v liked , but I have to admit this thing is nice and looks good.

which goes to prove a theory of mine, the lower thay go the better thay look. (very nice build)

Thank you all for your comments and Bob, the Hendrix conversion wasn't bad at all. No more so than any other good resin kit. A little adjusting on the interior fit, a few minor pin-holes and a little clean-up around the inside of the windows. And one thing I noticed during final assembly. There is a small blob of resin around the right parking light mount. I was able to clean it up reasonably well and repaint.

I used the Revellogram '48 Ford street rod kit as a donor and the hood fit quite well. This may be of help to others wishing to build these '48 Fords. Being 60 and sometimes being ham-fisted, when I was trying to detail the taillight lenses, one went into orbit. I didn't want to raid any of the waiting kits I have, there is a coupe or two in the wings, I seached through my parts and came up with a set of taillights from the '32 roadster kit. There supposed to be Chevy lights but after checking pics on-line and looking at the final build, I'm pleased with the appearance. I may just have to order a few sets from Bob Dudek and see how those look.

I hope this of help to any and all. And Chris, I like, even the color.

Thanks again to all,

Jerry

Fantastic looking build, love the color and stance! That body looks really good. Was it actually intended to be used with the Revell kits?

[FactoryStock54]

LOVE those fat-fendered beauties! Great job on the '48!

Thank you Dennis and I would say that it is intended to be used with the Revell kit as the interior floor mates very well with the kits chassis.
