I'm debating on changing the front suspension to a dropped axle like the real car had. What do you guys think? AKAttachment Deleted Attachment Deleted

I always thought these were a little high off the ground. Great looking 55!

Thanks for the comments guys! In the scene where Falfa finally runs across Milner you can see the dropped tube axle so I think I will remove the stock front suspension and replace it with an axle from one of my Revell 32 Ford kits. Hey CustomMuscle, that pic cracked me up the first time I saw it too! I ride a harley and have been told that I look like this kid! AK

Update on the 55. I cut off the front suspension and installed a dropped tube axle. Whittled a skull out of some scrap plastic and assembled the body chassis and interior. I should be able to finish it during my next modeling session! yeah!! I'll post some pics when done. AK
