@rich-sufficool Wow, nice build on that but sadly I can't even fabricate a 1/18 '56 Ply hardtop....   there's NOTHING (as you know ) to start with. 😔 😔  The closet I can come is Signature's 1/32 '56 Ply 2-dr.  I have a few of these which I could convert to a 4-door, but.... Who the hell collects 1/32 unless it's for slot-cars?   😯 😮 

I don't believe I've ever seen even 1/18 RESIN '55 or '56 Plymouths. 😬 😬

with and without the continental kit.

I do regret not buying one w/the conny & the skirts....just to have it.  I'm not really a fan of either on 1:1s.

@bob-jackman The engine bay isn't wired? I don't see ignition or battery wired.

Funny you noticed that.... THE ENGINE BAY is WIRED BUT for some strange reason all the (beautifully done ) ignition wires run below the exhaust headers and NEVER connect to the distributor cap. The coil, however, has a wire plugged right in the center of the distributor cap, exactly where is should be. 

Also, I noticed the yellow/black car (the one I thinned downed the whitewalls )  still sat a bit too high in the back. I quickly disassembled it and fix that too. With the car apart I could've snapped a few pics of that WIRED engine, but I didn't know it was an "issue"  until right now.  Oh well, too late.  😯 😏
