Started on this years Christmas build a few days ago...
it's a AMT '55 Buick Roadmaster body
mounted on the AMT '55 Chevy Sedan

The only two parts I plan to use not from the kit are the
Buick body and Buick front bumper/grill

I got an actual / original rear bumper in the mail Friday
It looks great but it doesn't fit right, even though it is the correct bumper
I hope that Doug can cast it for me in resin

bumper just held on with rubbeer bands for now...
Doug is going to cast it for me in resin so I can tweak it so it fits better
