Current work in progress.....a 39 Buick. Sourcing the chrome bits was problematic so went the black out route. I think it works smile

Nice rides! Started building cars instead of telescopes have we? wink

I like the matched painted bumpers on the the 48 and the fact that there's a Ford engine in it.

The 39 is a cool ride with the suicide doors and lowered. I would add flush mounted door handles in line with the trim to really make it bad a$$. smile

Been messing with cars a LOT longer than I have telescopes lol.......I have one more I will probably do before calling it a day on cars. A 1970 road runner with a 383, 4 speed, shaker hood.
