AMT '50 Ford with resin Carson top from Reps & Mins. DeSoto grille from Revell '49 Merc kit. Tires and caps also from Revell Merc kit with a small bullet added to each wheel cover. Tailights frenched in. Scratchbuilt side trim mimics '58 Ford trim. Gold candy-wrapping foil paper applied with white glue. Paint is Tamiya plum crazy metallic and lots of polished clear. Frenched headlights are the King Bees from a Revell '32 ford kit. Tuck & roll made with half-rounds and piping is very thin plastic rod painted Polly Scale German Mauve (light purple). Used the kit flathead with some detail added. Scratchbuilt the steering box and column. This is what it may have looked like in a 1962 Car Craft magazine.

Very nice! I have that kit but, I have had a hard time deciding what to do with it. So it has been sitting. Yours is wonderful and may be the monitvation I need to get back to work on mine. The purple paint is perfect for that car.

That's awesome. I've got the Modelhaus Carson top for this kit- I'm hoping mine turns out half as nice as yours.
