Finished this up on the weekend. It's mostly Revell kit-based. I just used the flathead engine from the sedan and changed the front and rear tyres for something more period-correct.

It was inspired by pics of the Don Van Hoff coupe that graced the cover of Hot Rod magazine in December 1955. Not a replica per se, just a tribute to the style. niceone

Right up there with your best Bryce, twothumbsup which is always so much better than my very best.

However, I'm so glad to see that you have the same problem I always seem to have with the Revellogram '32s and the lousy rear fender to body fit. Crying or Very sad
