This was a 24hr build for a friendly challenge a while back i had. As you see i took the most LOUD colors as possable and used them on this build.But now its time to revisit this build and make it right,cool,and non-friendly.Its my version of frankenstein LOL.Plans are simple make it a lead-slead,engine swap,custom interior (thanks lindenburg for cutting corners :mellow: ),and a custom frame :o .

Heres where its at now

Actually it was Pyro who cut the corners. Lindberg just saw some reason to reissue the kit! :) It'll take a lot of work for this kit to look cool, but seeing what you've done in the past I think you can make something cool out of it!

Well after two consecutive late nights (staying up till 5am) i got the rear fenders reworked and the flush trunk deck started.

Now its time to reduce the front of the passenger compartment to fit between the front fenders, French the head lights,Add some 59 caddy taillights and french those as well, Chop the carson top,Add so L.E.D's to light it up,lengthen the fram to match the body lengthening,Add a front clip to mount a motor,Detail it ALOT,And drag the other builder to hell with it LOL.

I think thats about it LOL

the different path it took was the change in bodies.I replaced the boring lincoln body with a 36 ford body.I figured that it looked better and gave it better lines rather then a FLAT boring shape.
