Great looking build. Exceptionally neat and clean. 2 thumbs up.
I've got 2 (or 3 maybe) of these kits in my stash. Yours has given me something to shoot for. I most likely won't build mine as a "Miss Deal", opting instead for some type of "hometown hero" build. I have saved photos of different builds using the "Miss Deal" kit. I'm not sure exactly what I'll end up doing with mine, but seeing great builds like this sure helps me form some ideas.

I've been looking for one of these to scavenge the chassis and suspension.

The trusty old Miss Deal kit is a classic! It has few parts and doesn't take very long to build and yet still turns out nice on the shelf so it's a good kit for those that need to "get off the dime" and build something. It also lends itself to many possibilities so it's a good kit to have. I scratch built the headers and the blue glass, and filled in that hole in the trunk and discarded the giant "foot" push-bar but other than that, this one is pretty much "cover art" box stock.

Yeah, I've seen that car and read the article. Pretty interesting that the Miss Deal kit saw, and still sees, the level of popularity it does considering it was never a real 1:1 car. I think I've read 3 or 4 different articles now on the car and it's basis.

Nice job filling in the hole in the trunk ! ( I KNOW there was a hole there.... but I cant find it ! )
I have "Cannabalized" this kit in the past, and come up with a few one-off car's. But I never "actually" used the kit's body
( I'm not a Studebaker fan. sorry. )
LOVE the header's !

Fantastic build.
A great old kit, and source for parts. (Got one)
Luckily they are easy to find at reasonable prices do to the releases.
Now, If I could just find a Dodge "Revellion" funny car kit to pose next to one.
That would be cool!
