Nice looking build. You did a great job on this one. Thanks for sharing.

[@desolation_angel]

That's one of my favorite kits.

I love those cars. Simple and clean. Nice looking build! Stance is perfect. Love the color. Really great looking old build. I’m the same way. I have some old builds that I won’t restore either. Nice to have them as a memory.

Nice "Shoebox"!Chopping tops is all about measuring,eyeballing and guts!👌

[@bkmodelcars]

Very good. There was a color back in the day called burgundy purple metallic that looks like it. Was one of my favorites

You are correct on the roof line Eric. Great looking custom. Love these 50's style customs. Grille is a 54 Desoto. Very popular in the 50's and 60's. Ron

[@ericsmodelgarage]

Thanks, Ron, and thanks for the grille info. I had the year right, at least. Figured it was from that era👍

HEY-DAR 👊😎👍: Built this in 92? You don't look that old. This is a sharp build, I'd take it. Don't really care for the spots. Watch You Later, (MODEL CAR😎MAN CAVE)
