BHarrison Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 Just finished this one and moved it from the Workbench section. Its a modified Phantom Vikie kit by AMT with virtually no parts un modified from the kit. I scratchbuilt the top, bullet tailights, Lokar shifter and boot, dash face, aluminum front drop axle and then channeled the body on a rake. I shortened the grille leaving the lower grille portion exposed for two reasons. 1. I like the way a 35 Ford grille rolls under and 2. It makes it interesting seeing through the photoetch grille toward the bottom. I saw a 1:1 done this way years ago and thought it was cool. thanks for looking!
Dr. Cranky Posted November 6, 2011 Posted November 6, 2011 That is one flawless, beautiful model. Congratulations.
Joker Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Wow!!! Nice build. How about a SBS on the top? And a shot of the Grill if possible. Thanks
BHarrison Posted November 7, 2011 Author Posted November 7, 2011 thanks guys! Here are some shots of the grille and some in progress shots of the top....
surfjunke Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Great build! The Vicky looks mean! Like the stance & paint. Great idea on the top, thank you for a great tip!
Dr. Cranky Posted November 7, 2011 Posted November 7, 2011 Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures of the scratch-built top.
LAone Posted November 8, 2011 Posted November 8, 2011 man that came out sick bro! i like the way it rakes and that grill looks sweet too.
Joker Posted November 9, 2011 Posted November 9, 2011 Thank you for sharing those wonderful pictures of the scratch-built top. X 2
BHarrison Posted November 9, 2011 Author Posted November 9, 2011 Thanks for all of the comments guys. I really appreciate them. Hope to meet some of you in Atlanta this weekend! If you see me around the car give me a yell!

charlie8575 Posted November 10, 2011 Posted November 10, 2011 Nice job with the convertible top frame. How about a tutorial- or even better, an article for the magazine, or a little of each? Charlie Larkin
BHarrison Posted November 10, 2011 Author Posted November 10, 2011 Thanks for the comments Charlie. I am actually talking to Darin Bastedo about an article we plan on working on when I get back from the Atlanta show this weekend.
RatRod Posted November 19, 2011 Posted November 19, 2011 Another great looking Hotrod!!! The top is a nice touch, albeit a little bulky, but it still looks cool. You talked about the grille, but didn't show much of it......curious minds....
