    I started with a 1/8 scale 29 roadster body and frame rails, a glass display globe, a donated 392 hemi and a box of Sculpty clay, bout 500 hours later this was the result, most fun build I ever did. Has flashing lighted interior and real leather, the grill has real 22 cal bullets!

    Too Cool! The fins remind me a lot of the fins on Jeff Myers' Caddy. I told him out the roundup that those quarters would have made an awesome bubbletop....then he told me they only made like 1700 of them or something like that. ha ha ha

    Yeah, what's the website addy anyway???

    Thanks Plowboy, your Atomic Punk gave me the inspiration to finally do a bubbletop. Wish I had the talent to build the real thing.

    I feel small and untalented when I see Sonny's work. I started buying models again because of you.

    Haven't put any together...
    but I bought em.
