I'm building this one on another forum for a contest. Sharing it here was something that I thought would be kind of cool!?! The contest build time lasts for a whole year, which is a needed time frame for me!! This kit comes with a few custom options for the body. I picked one that I think can look cool with a bit of tweaking! The round tail light holes on a body with so many sharp lines and edges just doesn't work. My thoughts were to go with a tail light from a kit that have a more rectangular shape to them. But I could not find anything here that I liked, so making my own is what I decided! But it still needed a little extra style to make it look like a decent custom light!! This next photo does not really do it justice, the finished unit will be a bit different. The bar across the middle will be chromed with foil, and the red clear plastic will be sunk in a bit more. It looks too chunky like it is, but it will look better when it's done!! I have a few other things to post about this one, but I ran out of time right now. I have to take my wife to work! Gotta go!!

Thanks Dale!! I spend most of my time on a Hot Rod and custom forum where I feel more at home with the kind of stuff I like to build the most! But I did have some fun times here, and that's why I figured I would at least share my build with those who might give a crap.LOL!!! If I get at least some feed-back on this one, I will continue to post my builds on this forum.

Very nice so far, Riviera-The factory custom. Are the wheels in the last picture from the AMT 49 Ford?

Yes Bruce, that is exactly what they are from! Thanks Sharp, I will keep the posts coming, but they might be a bit slow. I entered 3 builds in the contest on that other forum, so it is a real test for me to be sure!
