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.

Alright, the hungry fish got fed some putty.

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.

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.

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.DSCN4088_zpsf18cc813.jpg

This is the chassi with the factory exhaust removed and smoothed over with plastic and putty.
