streetmachine11 Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 this build started about six years ago. after rethinking and wanting to make some changes, it got dusted off and put back on the workbench. the doors were opened with a hotknife years ago (before i discoverd the back of an exacto blade) so the door gaps have been repaired, the jambs and hinges built, new hood scoop and a set of scratchbuilt rear window louvers molded in the body. the fender flares were scratch built along with the spoiler, and shaving door handles and vents were all done the first time around. after the original idea of a 60s custom, its taking a turn to a modern pro touring look.
