Current bubble top build almost done just need to add something to the back and paint the chassis

[kustomclassics]

This is my first somewhat scratch built bubble top, I modified a 57 T-bird kit to match a bubble I found in a parts lot I bought.

Hi Manuel!

Verrrrry nice, and "period correct" to boot. Bravo!

If I may: what is the source of your headlights, and is-this Testor's Inca gold lacquer, or HOK Sunset Base? The brightnes of the metallic suggests it could be both...

Thank you, I made the headlight bubbles but the actual headlight surround is from the Johan 62 Chrysler.
