Finished up the floor. Just cobbled it together from sheet material and some tubing.

I made it so it comes up the sides of the door panels a bit to make up for the added height. I did it this way so I can take it out, spray it and flock it and re-install.

Grafted on the front suspension from the AMT '57 Chrysler I used for the under hood bits.

Was planning to use the uprights too but they were kinda fragile and one broke so I made a new pair from sprue.

Wasn't really planning to put this much work into it but it kinda got away from me. I'll be keeping the rest of the chassis simple though in the interest of getting the car finished.

Great idea for the floor pan Steve! Getting the floors painted and flocked is always tricky with those tub-style interiors.

Nice work on the front suspension too.

That pretty much sums up most of my builds.🙄 Seriously…this is looking really great Steve! I love the color on it.👍😎

What an inspiration. I think I have one in my stash plus a '57 Chrysler donor kit.

I only have about 20+ stalled projects in front of it.
