50th anniversary community build

[wgflatliner]

I looked and didn't see any community build for this particular subject so i'm starting one!

This is going to be a community build that's based on any vehicle's 50th anniversary. So here's the rules:

1. The subject must be from 1960 ONLY. No earlier, no later.

2. All progress updates and photos are to be on this thread.

3. The deadline is 12/31/10, in order to keep it in the 50th anniversary timeline. This also gives plenty time to see more completed projects.

4. HAVE FUN! The most important thing is to have fun. You can take your 1960 subject and turn it into a lowrider, a stock car, race car, zombie car, barbie car... it's up to you!

To start the subject I will be building up the 1960 Pontiac Bonneville Hardtop from Trumpeter. I started it last night, and will be getting photos by tonight/tomorrow.

Thanks and hope to see some interest!

Here's one of my updates. I would like to get a couple more chassis details done to it before i consider it done.

(i have altered the dash since the pic after looking at a real car reference photo - i removed the bare metal foil on the bottom)

(outer rim chrome, inner wheel metalizers magnesium, lug nuts metalizers brass, photo etched center wheel cover with an oil based wash)

frame nearly done:

I've never joined one of these community builds... until now! I want in... I have always wanted to build the '60 Starliner, this will motivate me (hopefully!)
