Tijuanataxi Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 This Pontiac came to live as an experiment. I had this idea of shortening the roof, to get this long rear deck taildraggin look.... During the building of this model, my modelbuddy´s challenged me along the way, so finally it got quite wild. One of the challenges were to use one of the bath tubs, from Bob Reisner´s The Bathtub show rod. Custom grille, and scratchbuilt tube grille. The bubbleskirts were made from the penholder of an AMT Prestige kit (Another challenge) Here is clear to see the chopped, shortened, and moved foreward roof.... The rear is customized also. The door is hanging due to a little girl, who could´nt keep her fingers to her self Rear seat replaced by the bath tub, equipped with tv, telephone a some magazines.... Steering wheel made of real silver chain... ´59 Caddy tail lights on the front wheels... (yep, they DID that on 1:1 cars...) Well, all in all a fun project.... And I won all the challenges... ha ha
