I am always looking through boxes of junk to find a victim. In this case, a top from a '49 Merc, front end of a '50 Ford, and rear end of an original AMT screw bottom curbside that was pretty rough, not restorable, plus i dropped it on the concrete and it disintegrated...so i used the fins and hacked it all together. For over 60 years I have wanted to use the Styline front end on something. It packs a hopped up flathead and chassis from the Ford kit, and lots of parts from the junk box. No real reason why, but since it resembles some old '50's sled...I call it "Predictasaurus" because it was built before bubble tops in my fantasy world.

Hey, I've seen way worse custom models that started out with way better parts! Congrats on making something out of darn close to nothing! One thing, you're never gonna see another one like it on the contest table! Model on! B)

The beauty of a Kustom build has often been to blend elements from different cars together to build something to your personal style. Great looking paint work as well.
