You know, I honestly think we often forget how pretty these cars were because we’ve become so accustomed to seeing them all hacked up.

I’m sorry, but it’s just my opinion that it’s very difficult, if not impossible, to improve upon the looks of many of these vintage cars.

Yep. Agreed 100% which is why- apart from maybe flashier wheels and suspension lowering- I'll rarely do custom versions. 

Having said that, the chop top and rear wheel skirts that come with this particular kit are pretty hard to resist!

Very nice...and fits together SO much better than the vast majority that get built.

I don't know why, but getting the hood / grille / cockpit surround (or the fit of the steel tops) non-wonky eludes most builders. 

Like I said...very nice.  :D

Good looking roadster! Looks to be Hunter green in my eye.

Nothing wrong with rattle can paint, all of mine are and honestly, they can be wet sanded and buffed to look like a quality airbrush job.

Thanks Bill. Yeah, that area you mention is probably the major fault of the kit which is why I chickened out a bit on the drag version by leaving the cowl sides off! ?
