Thanks guys, I need to keep going on this one, I doing this for this month club theme, and here are some updates

I got the body painted, but it did not come out very good, I blame the weather lol, I know its hard to tell in the light

chassis and interior getting worked on, I need to go back and clean up a little

and getting some of the parts for the roof rack and the tail fins painted

It's really shame that this Reissue is so bad quality, and I mean the parts count. Otherwise this would be Must Have kit for me. Is there better quality kit of '59 Caddy "Wagon"/Hearse etc.?

You're doing very good job on this one. Interesting build, I'll be watching.

[H.A.K]

Good lookin car.

[martinfan5]

Thanks guys, this is not really bad a kit, just take the kit for what its worth, I say go for it and get it.

Here is an update, starting with the body, since I am almost out of BMF, well not enough for this one, I decided I wanted to try something, so I masked the body, and spray the chrome trim, well I use aluminum, but it still looks decent, well to me anyways, yes I know it would look better with BMF, I just hate applying BMF

and work on the roof rack continues

and the wheels

[H.A.K]

That's lookin good.

[Danno]

Go, Grasshopper, Go! Looking good.

On the other hand, we may have to call you Spookhopper!

Who you gonna call?

[martinfan5]

Thanks guys, sure, you can call spookhopper, or what ever else, just dont call me late for dinner , wiserhopper

[Danno]

Mayhaps, even, "Goodsporthopper."

[Dr. Cranky]

Looking good. I would like to do mine as a surf wagon.

[martinfan5]

Kind of like the Johan Heavenly hearse?, just older, I have been thinking about doing one was a four dour truck version.

On to what I have got done, almost all the decals have been applied I did the back wash on the front grill, attached the rear light on the roof rack, put the front bar on, I also added the gutter clips if you will

[Nick Winter]

Looks great so far Jonathan, Question for you, does it come with those wheels/tires?
