That kustomrama site has about every well known custom from the the 50/60's era, plus some not so well known. I got on their email list and all sorts of interesting stuff comes through.
68shortfleet Posted May 22, 2024 Posted May 22, 2024 Great looking 27 T. Sorry to hear paint frustrations. I've got a leftover can of the MM Ultraviolet Pearl sitting here. Nowhere near enough in the can for a complete build, but enough for some touch ups to a build. You are welcome to it if it can go through the mail.

SpeedShift Posted May 29, 2024 Author Posted May 29, 2024 (edited) Finally on the last lap to finish this one. Fitted out the interior with steering wheel/dash, masked and painted the seat pleats black, added tear drop taillights, made a tiger tail for the gas cap location, attached firewall to body shell and added beehive oil filter and fuel block (need to wire up those). Need to add a drag link to steering arm ...waiting on aftermarket gas cap and license plates. Edited May 29, 2024 by SpeedShift 5

SpeedShift Posted September 30, 2024 Author Posted September 30, 2024 (edited) Been away for a while (some major health issues), in the interim, this got a third place at the local Hobbytown contest, its first time at a show. Was gratifying. Edited September 30, 2024 by SpeedShift 7

Been quite a journey since January 2024, two chemo treatments and then a rough ride since my Bone Marrow transplant in August. Now on the slow road to recovery but getting better each month. Hope to pick up again on some projects soon. 2
