If you put that outside on some concrete and a good backdrop to not give it the true size, I would swear that this is the real deal.

Beautiful. I'm working on the 55 car as we speak. It won't look half as good as yours.

This just great. Glad to see one of Bill's bodies show up. Your grill looks amazing. Really nice job on the details. Jim Thank you so much Jim. The grill is actually a Lance Sellers casting from his 56-58 Novis. Thank you Lance. I had a couple in each kit and only used one so I used the others on different projects. One a 58 Belond and the other on a 59 Bowes Epperly I am currently converting. The grills I sanded the convex shape down on the front and removed the material from the back. I pulled the grill out of my Novi. I remembered I didn’t glue it because I was on the fence on whether to hollow out the back. These pics will show what I mean.   |

Very nice! Who made the conversion? Thanks Mark. I believe it was all Bill J’s. I had it in a baggie with the body,nose,seat,windscreen,hood scoop and body bump. |

Very nice looking model! I noticed the windshield and the fit looks so good and wondered where and/or how you did this? The pattern I have to cut from flat plastic is a huge pain to fit well.

Thanks for the windshield tip. I'll have to try that on my next build. I keep hoping someone will provide a pre-formed one that would make this so much easier but after all these years it hasn't happened so I will keep using my "stressed out cursing" method.
