So, I had an R&R '57 IH and a Moebius '55 Chrysler body in close proximity. I noticed that the front ends were about the same width. That sparked an idea...
Once the hood and front fenders were cut away from the truck and the Chrysler doghouse was in place, it just looked natural to me, even though I knew I'd need to recountour the fenders to fit flush with the doors. Also- dig how the '55 Chrysler fender trim lines up perfectly with the trim on the International bed... that has to be some kind of sign, right?
The festivities continue...
Here I have made new side trim, and I've begun to incorporate a few more '55 Chrysler bits- rear wheel openings and bumper/splash apron mostly.
And a quickie mockup... next time around she just might have a chopped top...
