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.

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.

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.
