crazyjim Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Just completed this afternoon is this puppy. I used Duplicolor dark cherry metallic for the body. The panel has some HOK silver stripes covered in HOK apple red candy and then clear over everything. Made a 1 piece rear door and a full length skylight. Rear wheelweels had be enlarged for the body to cover the huge M/T Sportsman tires from Ma's Resin. Grille is scratch built.
crazyjim Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 What the heck? I'll go check and try to figure it out. They showed on the post preview.
rctruk Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 I like it. Would have given a lot to be able to cruise in that great ride. Like your dio also
Ken Kitchen Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 What a beautiful model. My only comment though is that with a custom grille it could be anything from 53-55. If I may ask why did you specify a 54?
crazyjim Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Thank you, Ken. I thought the box said '54 but I just checked. It's a '55. Sorry for the mistake. Edited March 21, 2013 by crazyjim
slusher Posted March 21, 2013 Posted March 21, 2013 Jim that is awsume. love the engine detail and the custom touches. The tail lights, grill, and the glass panel roof is a homerun. beautiful model...
crazyjim Posted March 21, 2013 Author Posted March 21, 2013 Whoa - thanks, Carl. I hope the judges at Saturday's MAGS contest at Big Daddy Don Garlits Billetproof show agree with you.

crazyjim Posted March 22, 2013 Author Posted March 22, 2013 Thanks, Terry. The mean dog (1 of 3) was supplied by the Bartster. And where has he been?
realgone58 Posted March 22, 2013 Posted March 22, 2013 Another great looking build, Jim! I think you'll do just fine at the contest. See you Saturday morning.
