He might not be the best at workin on it, but he sure is havin fun.

This is what I could have only hoped for as a kid, but never got. So I decided to build one like I'd loved to have had way back then. It's channeled over stock 32 frame,(with no Z-ing) aluminum trunk lid, Olds engine from AMT 40 ford, fenders from AMT 32 kit. All the rest are parts box junk, and some scratch buildin.

Just tryin ta get her ready for some new paint and maybe some new parts.

Hope you enjoy it.

that thing is sweet. where you get the foxtail?

I made the coons tail outa cotton glued to a piece of fine wire and sprayed w/ thin lacquer. :lol::blink:

Thanks guys for the great comments. This was a fun little build that took a lot longer than I thought it would. Things just got added and added. There's still things I wanted to do but had to quit while I could. B)B)B)

Awesome job Bill! I didn't know it was a model until I got to the second picture.
