Thanks for all the nice comments on this build. To answer some question. I have no idea for the paint yet. I don't think i will shave it, but maybe i change some of the chrome trim. The interior is almost done. Pics are coming.

I think I'd leave the trim, Roger... breaks up the sides. Great for a tutone. Contrary to sales, there really wasn't anything wrong with the Edsel... just people weren't ready for the radical styling... I always thought it wuz kool. Still wouldn't mind having one. Unfortunately, for as big a "joke" as the car became, current prices don't reflect that.

great start ! those split bumpers are a really good idea ! I think like Jon the top look too short, but the shape is nice on the car ! may be a little longer...

Great lines on this one, Roger. The new bumpers are a great touch, and I like the shortened roof as well.

Here is some interior pics. I had to remove the backseat,so i replaced it with sheet plastic. I made some tuck n roll here and there. The console is a modified 57 Ford unit. Roger

That's really neat Roger ! I really like the Rear end treatment, lay it way down and give it some neat Kandy Paint !

Wow,thank you guys for those nice comments. I have just painted the interior too,in the same color combo. Sense its a base cote,i just skip the clear to get a satin finish. Now i have to get the BMF done,so i can put this thing together.
