tabsscale1 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 Well I posted picture once before but can't find the post. So here is what is done so far. The Caddy fenders are from ModelHaus. So is the 50 Buick grill I am using.
tabsscale1 Posted January 14, 2015 Author Posted January 14, 2015 Now I have chopped the top 3 inches in front and 4 inches in the rear. I also removed side trim and door handles and set it up for 49 Caddy rear bumper for the rear. I rounded the corners on the hood and also pancaked the hood.
Ramfins59 Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 That is gonna be one cool Custom. I wish there was a good kit of a '50 Buick available.

tabsscale1 Posted February 15, 2015 Author Posted February 15, 2015 Still working on this as well as the 57 Ford just getting the body work done around the fenders and front grill
microwheel Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Really cool idea, gonna be a interesting build to follow.
sporty8831999 Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 When you do a radical top chop like this, where do you come by the rear window and windshield? Do you make them yourself or trim the existing one down to size? I have never had luck with either process.

If the window doesn't have to much curvature I use clear sheet plastic
tabsscale1 Posted March 28, 2015 Author Posted March 28, 2015 Finally getting back to working Got most the body work done. Need to sand with some 800 grit paper and shoot another coat of black primer. then I can shoot the color.
misterNNL Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) I love a classic custom.This has a lot of the right mix of some the classic modifications including the pancaked hood and tunneled antenna.This will be fun to watch as it progresses.Thanks for posting your photos for us to enjoy.

Ramfins59 Posted March 29, 2015 Posted March 29, 2015 This is coming along great Todd. There sure won't be much of a view out that back window but it will do.
tabsscale1 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Got the color shot and clear as well couple more coats of clear and I can polish it
tabsscale1 Posted March 31, 2015 Author Posted March 31, 2015 Made shifter lever and blinker lever knobs also accessory knobs for the dash
spencer1984 Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 That's looking awesome, great choice for the color!
