I like the style, especially the Packard lights. Going to chop the windshield? Paul

This is lookin' good. I hate to say it but I vote to bring that windshield down just a little. Just when you thought this was going to be a simple project. does give me an idea for some of those Caddy tops though because that car looks much better as a roadster. I bought an extra for parts

Thanks guys. I didn't chop the windshield on purpose. I wanted everything to slope to the rear for a tail dragger.

Oh yea! the proportions take on a whole new light with the primer on it. Funny how that happens some time. looks really kool up against the stocker too. Is that gonna be the actual ride height? Hope so.

I keep going back and looking at this. It is really turning into a beauty. Just wondering did you see a particular car that gave you the inspiration for this one or did you just dream it up one night? I could not have looked at what you started with and seen what it is now and I'm told I have a pretty vivid imagination.

To tell ya the truth Allen, the guys and I were at the hobby store for our "NERD" night and a couple of them had the Foose Cadillac kit. Mike started to look at his kit and he had a Japanese kit and put the Japanese roof on his Cadillac and liked it, so he's customizing his that way along with the interior of the Japanese kit. I asked if I could see the Cady roof and put it on the Chevy. It didn't fit perfectly but I thought, why not try and use it. I then asked about the interior, which he wasn't going to use either and with a little work, it fits in the Chevy body. The rest is history. And now, you know the rest of the story, as Paul Harvey would say.
