This was done a couple of years ago as I was recovering from chemotherapy and it darned near whipped me but I got it finished. Not real happy with the color but it is what it is! The headlights from an AMT ‘55 Chevy were grafted to the front fenders and the rear quarters and rear wheel openings were reshaped. The side trim is Evergreen strip and Baremetal Foil. All of the original Foose trim was removed and an Eversgreen strip bullnose was added to the hood and shaped and filled. Paint is Testors Stop Light Red over Plasticote automotive primer.

This is a very nice kit to start a custom with, and i really like the way you have pulled back on the
fancy Foose custom work and created your own "older school" custom, very nicely done, you now have your own
custom that nobody else has on their shelf, which i find is the best part of creative modeling.

Thank you, Deano and DeeCee! I’m still not in love with the color after two years but it’s not getting changed...DeeCee, I’m not sure I can build a box stock glue kit...it was tough not modifying the Corvette snap kit...I really enjoy fab work and customizing a lot more than finishing the models. Gonna have to get back on my 51 Chevy Fleetline custom one of these days...🤗🏁

Kind of difficult to restyle a custom car...wouldn’t mind trying another one some day. The rear quarters were harder than you would think to fill the dip in the upper edge!
