This one was supposed to be built exactly like the custom version on the side of the old AMT box. However, I thought it'd look better with a minor chop to the roof and some lowering in the back along with White-line tires. So, I redid the boxart in the PC and printed a new copy which I glued to the box and THEN built a copy in 1/25 scale!!!!

Not as easy as it looks to do so great a job! Congrats on real success! The rear tail lights now look a bit more like the Chryslers of the era. I especially like the removal of the of the side trim to the tail. I always thought it was too much and back then no models came out with the "basic" trim level. Thanx for a real custom cruiser.
