Another day, another interesting WIP for us, today's courtesy of AutoModelling.com user 'junk yard dog'. There's a really varied bunch of builds going on for the WBMBR, and I'm enjoying watching them all slowly develop. I also enjoy that they're developing slowly. There's plenty of time to do things right, get your builds just how you want. Hell, I haven't even got any of the parts for mine yet!
JYD is off to a great start on this build, and he appears to be kitbashing like there's no tomorrow. MPC Switches 32 Phaeton body, Revell Deuce fenders, a 427 Revell mill, and a 30 or 31 vintage chrome grille. Those slices out of the body give it a mean rake, and the roof gives it more that a hint of Lil' Coffin.
Coincidence, apparently as JYD hadn't seen that build before but it's interesting that the changes he made in 2008 ended up unwittingly echoing those executed more than 40 years ago - a great example of hot rodding always being hot rodding, no matter what year it's going on in. Plus, any build being compared to one by Darryl Starbird can't be a bad thing right?
More on this as the contest develops, but in the meantime check out the build here.
