Well, the '57 Soff Seal is in the can too. The aging of the plastic caused a consistent misfit and cracking in the putty everytime I primed it for painting. The Shoebox chassis sat it the box while I started on the '55 sportsman kit. I tried to fashion an NOS type injection system out of styrene rods for selenoids and it actually looked pretty good for a while, even used wire to fashion springs for the shocks/struts, but again, fitment problems with the firewall/chassis and front support tubing made for a sloppy job.
So gone is the '55 chassis. Despite that, the body painted up nicely with Inca Gold and so finally Frankenstein will be finished. I just wish I hadn't wasted that nice Revell '55 chassis, now that I know lots of builders use the adjustable chassis halves to fit other bodies. Oh well, live and learn.
