Nostalgic T/F rail

[Smart-Resins]

I got this kit Don Prudhomme's Wynn's Winder from a local friend for free.It was started(the motor and frame) but was glued with very little glue so ended up when I took it apart all but like brand new thank the Lord.I decided to shorten the frame and only have a rear body style nastolgic T/F rail.I cut two sections out of the frame and bent the top rail from the front portion up to meat the rear portion.I then had to slightly modify a couple of the cross braces to fit properly.I glued the body panels together and platic puttied them.I then had to pie cut the front of the body to lower the front edge to match the new lowered section of the frame.Since the frame mod also made the frame skinnier there, also had to section the top of the front body panel 1/8" to make it match in width.Everything else will remian box stock.I will paint the frame black and the body Dupli-colorBordeaux Red. Here are some shots of my progress.I hope to have it completed for a local show next Saturday?!

Thanks for looking.
