tabsscale1 Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Well i think I went Crazy here. Was at a car show last month and saw a neat looking 47 Buick Custom so i decided to try and do a Model of it. This started out as a Galaxie 46 Chevy Fleetline.

bryan_m Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 oh wait Todd, the new one comin out is a 50 Oldsmobile........another sweet old ride! my mistake, sorry buddy! cheers bryan
Olskoolrodder Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 This is gunna be killer (so is that new Olds coming out! )
Dr. Cranky Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Oh yes, this is going to be a good one. Keep it going.
Alyn Posted August 21, 2012 Posted August 21, 2012 Todd, when I saw your title, I thought for sure you had picked up a resin Buick body at the KKOA show in Salina. Sounds like maybe the inspiration came from there? Looks like you're off to a good start, chopped top and all.

Alyn I always get ideas from the KKOA Didn't buy any thing there but some paint I ordered from Steve.

kruleworld Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 interesting conversion so far... oh wait Todd, the new one comin out is a 50 Oldsmobile....... Really? dang, better sell my resin body transkit before it comes out.
tabsscale1 Posted September 12, 2012 Author Posted September 12, 2012 Okay while waiting on parts and paint to dry on the Black 49 Merc . I have been working on the Buick. Got the front grill area roughed in and trying to make the hood wider in the front. Also have some of the side body work getting done and the rearend of the car a well. The Bumpers will be scratch built when I get the body mods done.
