I built this recently for a cartoon model contest . I tried to get it to look like a car Dave Deal had designed . It started out as a 50 Ford ragtop gluebomb, which I shortened about 2 inches. I widened the wheel arches and flared them . I gave the car a slight custom touch, without losing the 49's classic look . Most of the pieces came from the parts boxes with the exception of the dice and drivers body ,which are resin. The paint is Testor's Custom Laquer gold over white . There was a lot more work in making one of these than I would have thought . The California license plate reads as the kit would have been called - '49 Furd
