(PICS) For Steve Jacobs. This 1/18 Edsel four door was sort of a side project. It was....
...completed years ago then put on the shelf. Everything opens but the rear doors but I wanted "all glass up" so side glass w/chrome surrounds had to be fashioned. I also made a set of stock (non-spinner) wheelcovers-shown in the pic below, re-did those crappy headlights and added a tow hitch (to pull a camper).
You'll notice I also added "a family" w/dog but was slightly criticized for doing so. I modified inexspensive Christmas ornaments.
One day I may re-do this model and "improve things." But for now....here it is. A 1/18 4-door 1958 Edsel Citation.

Chris..that's just awesome craftsmanship! I see that you even included the body structure piece between the front and rear doors and the 'triangular' shaped body piece at the rocker panels! An amazing job and a great looking 1 of 1 model. Thnx for the pics!

Yes, that "bottom B-pillar" was a bit of a challenge but it had to be done. I couldn't...
...overlook it. I did post a "mini series" along the way during this project and I had hoped for a complete repaint in yellow w/black accents...but...I got lazy and chose an easier route.

Wow! Aside that I don't remember this car at all, the work on it is pure "Chris Moroni!"
Your usual superb attention to the smallest detail is in full display here.
