Well i finally got this sucker done tonight, thanks to Dave Kelley for the headlights and taillights! ;D
This is what i started with, it was a glue bomb and most of the suspension parts did break taking it apart. I repaired a lot of them parts including the front axle, hair pins and radius rods. I did a little scratchbuilding when i made the shifter and cut the carb throats from other carbs to glue onto these. Modelhaus tires, Old kit Lancer caps. Modified the "wheel off" Buick drums that used to come in the 3n1 kits and used them as part of the wheel backs on the front. Can't think what hood ornament that was, but i cut it down and filed it to fit on the grille shroud since the "stock" one was busted. Painted Mystic Marroon by Testors, built as a Traditional late 50s Rod.
here it is with a new life!
