Title: 35 Chevy Humpback Coach
Post by: slim on December 19, 2017, 12:48:56 PM: Body from a Tobias kit, with a hump made from some appropriate shape and putty. Frame started with a 57 Chevy, shortened, four link rear with coil overs. Traverse leaf spring and Flemke adjustable on the front. My decals.

Nothing works with this body and yet everything works with this body! Not very many builders can pull this off and yet not only have you done it Slim, it might be kind of a trend-setter. Leave it to you!
Thank you David, I take it as a compliment, but what do you mean?

Post by: Bob P. on December 19, 2017, 05:53:19 PM: I really like this build Slim. Built on a 57 Chevy frame like many modified from that era. Very nice body and detail work. Paint and lettering looks excellent also.
