Build as you would order/build a replica CPB

[roadhawg]

I've been MIA for awhile due to a dead computer, but I DID manage to finish the '61 Starliner for the "Build as you would order/build a replica CPB".

First, the real car:

Now, heres the finished project. This is the original issue '61 Starliner customizing kit. Fender skirts are modified from a '59 Chevy. Photoetch scripts are from Missing Link. I tried to build the kit as close as possible to the way it was intended, and the meant using the rubber band hood retainer and the metal axles. I left off the side view mirrors because I couldn't find an exact match. Paint is Tamiya black.

This was a fun build...I almost hate to send it to it's rightful owner!

That Starliner is very very nice looking ride!!! What a paintjob! That Cuda is very nice too, engine detailing is very impressive!
