ViperDave Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 That's a beauty!! Where did he get a '51 Buick? The original was a 51 Chevy fastback. Then someone made the Cadzilla model and it was cast in resin. Chopper took that model and added a 49 Mercury front end and made the front wider to match the rear fenders. When it was finished he called it ChopperHead. Jimmy Flintstone bought that one and cast it in resin. Then he gave Chopper a couple of the bodies and he made the Roadblaster Conv version then made this coupe version. Only a little bit is left from the original Chevy body or the Cadzilla version. Ain't modeling great. You can do what ever you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dub Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Even though I'm a newbie to the hobby, I have seen Ted's work before. Unbelievable! Yeah, "smoooth" is a good word for it. I can just see this thing driving around Gotham City with Bruce Wayne behind the limo tint. Excellent work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rollinoldskoo Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 grill from the new merc??? looks killer man..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Kern Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Yow! Smooth doesn't even begin to describe that look. Love the color, & my favorite custom grille. Although, if after laying that kind of finish down, putting an exacto knife on the body to trim the foil, I would probably look like Barney Fife trying to load his revolver!

I thought I would teach him how to paint back when he joined the club. Now look what he does. Makes me work even harder. Thanks for the comment on the pics.
