1960 Sedan Delivery

[jsc]

I rarely post here, but thought I would share what I'm trying to do with Monogram's "Bad Actor". I've always liked this kit, but thought it was a bit too "far out". So I lowered it, filled in the rear wheel openings, wired the engine, scratch built rear shocks, and redid the interior with a bench seat from a Jada diecast.

Comments welcome!

Nice work! Especially on those wheel wells!

Thanks guys. I'm enjoying this build. Got the glass installed and the hood mated to the front valance. I'm calling it a night!

I scratch built a rear taillight assembly. I had thought about using the Jada rear clip, but it had 3 taillights, and I only needed 2. I will be using the front clip.

Hood assembly is secure.

Looks good!! Your efforts mirror thoughts that I had a few years ago about converting this car to a stock version but I decided that it was a project well past mymodelling skills. I never understood why when they tooled up such a rare body style, they didn't do it in a way that would have made a stock build possible, but as we know, the powers that be chose to produce what they did. I think that I have a resin stock '60 sedan delivery body stuffed in a box somewhere and I know that I have a resin '59 sedan delivery. I'm interested to see what you do with this kit but it is a huge project IMHO unless you stick with the body as it comes out of the box. A stock build of this would make an awesome Fire Chief's car, police K9 unit or coroner's rig. Keep up the good work..

This one may not be perfect, but I think I'll call it finished. I used the grille from a Jada diecast. It really adds a lot.

And what did I do with the die cast? I used this kits parts, of course!
