Beautiful! And the posable fronts take it to another level, as I knew they would. Bravo!

That turned out very nice! You do an excellent work restoring these old Rods, this is another beauty that looks like it could have been built back in the day. I like that you used original parts instead of replacing them with new parts from the re-releases. The overall look is spot on, but my favorite part is that Road Comets plate on the back.
It's a shame that the newer releases that are based on this kit have lost all of those cool parts, like that grill, engine, uptop and wheels and tires... I'd be happy to find an original from somewhere too.

Outstanding vintage build Bob! As it should be. Thanks for taking us along on your build journey. I know I learned a lot from it!

Thanks Ron ! One item I didn't mention is if you're building one of these be sure to pre-fit the firewall to the body . I didn't do that and if you look at my photos you will see that it's not even close to matching the shape of the cowl . I'm betting that the reissues are the same way .
