Most EXCELLENT work! Lots of time put in, no weak spots that I can see. Folks may differ in design choices but the workmanship is awesome (a word I respect and very rarely use)!!!! Thanx for sharing one of far too few customs on these forums. Take a bow, hear the applause!

Hey thanks a lot guys!
NachoZ: The mods include one of the optional custom front ends, adding a narrowed ribbed front bumper from a Revell Merc. Said Merc also gave up it's ribbed rear bumper, '54 Pontiac grille option, Caddy caps, WWW tires and modified cruiser skirts. The taillights are inspired by one of Gene Winfield's early Ford shoebox customs. The '52 Buick-style side trim is scratched, and the color is a custom mix of Sally Hansen #07 "Three D" with just a couple of drops of Milani 11 #1 "Hottest Pink", rattle-can White on the bottom and topped with Nason automotive 2-part clear and buffed out. The Carson top was constructed using the canopy show top option from the '50 convertible kit and adding the forward section of the stock top, then added filler pieces on the sides abd finished in White primer...
I appreciate the kind words folks! -Shag
