Satch Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 First post here, thought I'd share an ongoing build I'm working on. The final design and paint is still open, so suggestions are welcome. Here's the AMT kit, I'm using the custom front and rear pieces. Didn't like the rectangular opening of the gril, so I added some stripes and puttied them in. Also changed the hodd design by rounding the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxer Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 I love the Victoria roof band more than any part on any '50 car. I think the "fishmouth" will improve greatly against the hood in place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Need some ideas for agrill. I have some fin mesh screen to use behind a full width bumper. Edited June 28, 2014 by Satch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satch Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Here's some of the latest pics. Another shot of the front end, I'l be adding the headlight rims next. The back needs some more fine sanding, it's a little rough in the corners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satch Posted July 2, 2014 Author Share Posted July 2, 2014 (edited) Made some progress. Did some final fitting of the hood (could be better) Added some side pipe shrouds and molded in the headlight rings. Had to remove the molded in exhaut system and the add some flat plastic and putty. Still needs a lot of tinkering, but it's coming along. Edited July 2, 2014 by Satch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
