Having only black/chrome goes well with the metallic green on the interior. That bodywork is looking so good.

That is some incredible work there so far. If I might make a suggestion though, Maybe add some curve to the grille instead of being dead strait across the front? With all the other lines on the car being so rounded, it looks a bit out of place being flat there.

With all the other lines on the car being so rounded, it looks a bit out of place being flat there. I see what you are talking about and will think about that. When you lool at a real 50 buick there is just a little bit of a curve on the grille. Not much but enough to give it a curve. It will be very hard to re-do the grille and give it that curve. Dont know how i will do about that, if it is worth the job even though it would change the whole front.

That small bend on the grille really did wonder, why didn´t they made it that way from the start? when i built mine i never thought about that. If Buick had made the grille straight they had saved ALOT of time and money, all nine tooths are different,(thanks to the curve) marked with numbers, they had trouble at the assemblin line to get it right in several ways, so 1951 the cd tray lookin´ grille were back. Really dig your interior, very cool idea.

This lead sled is looking amazing, Marcus. Adding a curve to the grille makes a huge improvement! The car deserved it

Hi Marcus, I love how the interior came out, really nice looking. But there's something about the skirt and lower rear fender line that looks off to me. The step up at the front of the skirt and then rearward looks like the lower body line should continue up from the rocker panel in a nice taper toward the bumper. Gary

The step up at the front of the skirt and then rearward looks like the lower body line should continue up from the rocker panel in a nice taper toward the bumper. Gary So what you mean is that i should add some platsic to the skirt and lower panel, to make it flow into the bumper more instead of having this ”sharp” step up at the skirt? I’ll think about that! Thanks for advice!
