I started with the Lindberg '53 Ford Victoria hard top. Guess what I did, I cut off the roof!

So I flipped the rear package shelf over, and molded it in to look like a hard convertible boot, but then I molded it in, and guess what? IT'S A ROADSTER NOW!!! :lol:

So I figured any kind of sweet ride should be a 5 speed, and sport bucket seats, well the factory interior was a bit harsh, though extremely well cast, and detailed, I ditched it in favor of a Monogram Mustang GT interior.

I apparently have a problem with Fords having Ford motors in them. This Caddy' engine came from a '49 Ford kit though, so can't get on me THAT much.

Well that's my Vicula. Comments, questions, and criticisms are welcome.

Roadsters don't have tops....well that's my take on it anyway. i guess that you could be right on the 2 seater only thing.

All I can say is I like the look of this "convertable". Nice & clean build.

thank you all for you comments! I really needed the boost. I've been in a slump on my building, and this is just what I needed.
