It's not often that I get a request from the 'woman of the house' to build something, so when I do, I accommodate her. She picked out the color, the bumpers, grille, and pinstriping. I had a firm "no flames" order.

Thanks Ray, it actually looks better and glossier than the pictures show. Too much of the metallic is getting picked up.

Very nice...although I have built two and don't remember a non frenched headlight option.

Hi Ken - the headlights were straight out of the kit.

Did you just front mount them? i guess that's really a feasable option when I think of the design.

Ken, sorry for the delayed response. I went back and checked the box and you're right - the headlights were meant to be frenched. What's interesting is that the instructions show the chrome headlight buckets being mounted outside and I actually followed through without thinking about it. To be honest, I like the look - the addition of just a bit more chrome is not hurting things!

Yeah, I like it too. It's a very nice build and the stock look on the headlights gives it a little something different. Great job on the whole car!

Looks great.

Are the pin strips decals? Where did you find those?

Hi Brian, the pinstripes came with the kit. Revell was kind enough to supply mutiple variants in three different colors - white, black, and gold!

Sweet deal. I love the old school pinstripe. I want them on my 1:1 '56 someday.
