Another great kit bash or customization. The parts you chose work so well together, that your work actually looks like a complete kit that was designed by a manufacturer. Another excellent piece!

Thank you for the compliments folks, this one did come together pretty well after sitting on my "do me" shelf for so long, I am glad I got back to it!

That looks great! As a full size car, would that be like a 3/4 scale body?

Thanks again, and deuce, the Bantam coupe was very very small car so I think the body would be near correct size, although I do think Monogram did over correct the original Sizzler body when they redid it as the Slingster, it does appear a bit too small versus the obviously oversized original Sizzler. But if they did overcorrect, it wasn't by much. Check out the body of the prototype I posted in the first post of my build thread.
Bernard, off topic but I noticed one of your models was featured in the new FSM Contest Cars issue article on the NNL West last year. Congrats and hope to see you there in person this year! I have one in there too but I swear they chose the absolutely worst photo I submitted. Kind of the way it goes a lot it seems! Then I saw their suggestions for getting a photo published and I broke all their rules but still, they chose that one!
