Hey all, here's what I've been working on these past few weeks. This one has been an on again off again box hugger for several years so I finally decided to dig in and get it done. This one was a real challenge in many ways but I learned a lot gettin' it done.

As always questions, comments and spirited discussion is most welcome. 16-vi

If you're not grown up by the time you're 60...you don't have to.

I've got two of these early kits and plan on one with an up-top . After seeing yours I now know what to do with the other one . . . Thanks !

With those body modifications the overall look screams 1960's to me, I could imagine seeing it on a car show at that time. That color looks really good on it and I like the interior too. Nicely done!
