Comments Here it is finished. Where to begin? All in all this is my favorite looking build I have made to date. The work totals around 25-27 Hours. Entire Frame, headers, seats, firewall, and interior pans were soldered using brass. The frame took about 5-7 hours alone over multiple days. The headers about 30-45 minutes each. The body took a very long time to smooth out due to the forward-slanting rake on the roof as well as it being sectioned. The Engines are 428's from George Barris' Raiders coach as well are the rims. The Body & Grill is a 32 Ford Found in my extra bin. The Gas tank (Scratch-built from 5 Mixed parts) and mirror also from the parts bin. Scratch built gear shift & knob. Cant really say I built a "Kit" because other than the body/grill, small trim parts, rims/tires, suspension, the rest is all scratch-built from materials. I used Alclad on the Soldered headers and Frame. Windows are made from thin clear plastic. Finish is a flat Black. Not sure what kit the headlights were from but hey were resting in the bin along with fitting Lenses. Engines are Wired and Have Plumbing to the radiator. I am very thankful the final fit was so good. The look was well worth the time and It was a Blast to put together!
