I'm calling this one done!

Interior is a bit basic, using kit parts and paint.

Under the hood is better, thanx to '57 'Vette Fuelie and a little more painted detail.

Body has partially dechromed hood, filled trunk lid, Studebaker tail lamps. Bumpers have had overiders removed, rear license hood is from nerd bar in '40 sedan delivery kit. Wheelarches have bee re radiuses, but pretty much everything else is as it came in the box.

Wheel caps are from the same 'Vette that supplied the drivetrain, tyres are from aftermarket, pie crust slicks on back and narrow white replicas of the original AMT firestones up fromt.

Thanx gang, simple enough build of a car I've had in my mind for some time.

Made a few mistakes along the way, fixed most of em without it showing.
