This is a Revell 1950 Oldsmobile coupe kit that I made into a ’49 fastback.  It’s a conventional late ‘50s custom, dechromed with frenched headlights; It has a Mercury grille, Corvette taillights and classic ’57 Olds spinner hubcaps plus a chopped top.

I’m pretty much a beginner and I almost gave up and tossed this several times until I discovered the Tutorials here on the Forum — Thanks a lot for the tips.  I hope to do better next time.

Beautiful looking custom. Turning out a body conversion like this is a big undertaking for a beginner. The body lines flow well, and the paint looks great.

That looks stunning. You done a great job on the custom work, can't see nothing wrong with that! I really like the shot from the rear of the car, it shows all the curves off nicely. Very nice build.

Exactly. Glad you kept at it. It was certainly worth the effort...and now you know you can do heavy mods. 

Onward and upward. :D
