Gothic Kustomz

Ok, here is what I've been working on. Not much visually. Air scoops in rear quarter/window opening for rear brakes. Interior and chassis, went from snap together chassis to a glue kit unit. Building in fire wall right now. I will be re working the nose and eliminating the lower marker lights. Black lines on door are where new door lines will be.

And now my newest dilema, I want to have the car look low. I'm deciding if I should alter the body sides or put on side pipes. I don't think this will look right with the Viper pipes on it though. What do you all think???? They will be up a bit higher on the body.

I think you might be better off checking in your stash for a set that are like an oval outlet that you could run a pipe out of. Hmmmm didn't the VetteAgin have something like that? Just a thought. Or you could do the Nascar style squared off long side exit......?

I think I may have come up with a better idea. Talk about it on Saturday if I see ya in Delavan...

This weekend's progress: Full extension of the hood forward 5/8"(!) and upward rounding of the front grille area.

I've got my work to do on the sides of the car now, so that will clean up the "waviness".

Please tell me you can get this cast and it wouldn't cost an arm and a leg.

:lol: at Kerry!

Shoudn't be too bad on price though. It will be available from Jimmy Flintstone once I get the body done on my end.

Looking for a 1950 Oldsmobile business coupe for the roof, my roof is too low right now compared to the 1:1.

That thing is just a work of art! Keep it up

Thanks Fred! I look forward to making it available to others :D

The Panic Tang updates, photos soon....

As of now, the front lower marker lights are gone, interior work is getting further, firewall is in, door lines are marked out, rear quarter air vents are in...

Wanna see it. Wanna see it. :)
