Dang! that is really cool looking.

The Front end with the lil Eyebrows above the headlights is amazing.

Watching all the work that went into it is amazing..

Excellent and amazing work.

This is really great build! When I saw the first WIP pictures, I was thinking, that if I would be the builder, I'd never could get that one finished. But you did it very fastly and nicely! Excellent work on this, Bruce! Great conversion, lots of work done... It looks smooth and it's just like Revell's kit of that car. Paintjob looks very good and I like the colors. Interior is great also, and I like the engine. Detailing looks amazing. Very great build, more of these! :angry:

This is a great conversion; really like the color choice, too. One thing that hit me when I glanced at the 1/43 Safari diecast I have, is you need to add the front fender/door "stars." This is kind of a crummy diecast, but the only game in town so far.

I'm adding a picture of my Franklin Mint '55; they accomplish the "stars" with tampo printing. If you'd like, I can try to take a better pic with a ruler for scale if you can print decals, or know someone who can.

What the heck; figured I'd add my 1/18 SunStar diecast to this. Needless to say, I have a thing for '55 Pontiacs.

Bruce, I humbly bow to your great work on this. The "stars" will make it complete. If you can accomplish it with decals, there should also be the V8 script on the rear fenders. I wish I had half of your scratchbuilding skills!
