So, i´ll show you some pics of a project started this spring and that mostly slept it´s way through summer, but woke up on my bench a few weeks ago: Words say " filled badly" in Swedish. As can be seen, heavily inspired by Frank Goulds " Limelighter" Interior is no way near finish, but if i´ll show you the car after a first paintsession , will you forgive me then ? Paint is Zero´s "liquid bronze candy" on Silver met. base. Should /Will /Must be finished for a modelshow the last weekend of October. No rush. No way man..

that is pretty slick! who makes that in resin? it is resin right? It's not my build, but NO, it's NOT resin. All bodymods are handmade by the very talented builder and performed on an old AMT body!!!

RodBurner; that beige colour is the primers hue. I show some pictures of "WIP": Roof is shortened and widened. Twice widened,since i made a measurement-error the first time and the roof was 1,5mm ( 1/16 ") to narrow. Most modifications done,filling and sanding time ahead. Ford ´56 rear kustompan and heavily sanded down the ´58 fins for a sleeker look. K/S alu-tube was used for taillights-openings. They are heavily tunneled,so the pipe is about 1/4 " long. Also the front lights are K/S-aluminiumtube. The yellow material used for sculpting is Tamiyas 2-parts kneading-type filler. A excellent material! Easy to use and work with

I like His Version better that mine, I was going to chop it and do the proper Headlights but I got Lazy ! Too many Projects going at one time I guess ! I can't wait to see the finished build, looks very nice ! ;D
