I agree the seat looks great.

Ghost saw this at a swap meet this morning.  It was off of a 27 Buick.  Would be cool on your car but the $500 asking price kept me walking

Thanks for thinking about me Tom, but for $500.00 dollars I'd weld up the hole and smooth it out before I spend that kind of money. hell  I could finish my car for that, but that is the style of mascot I would like to find. A friend is gonna finish my body work on the fenders, splash aprons and shoot them in color all I gotta do is buy the materials. I will wire up his 55 chevy truck with him buying all the harness and materials in trade. Didn't I tell you I hate body work  .   Good trade for me.

I sold a 28 buick radiator ornament / rad cap about a month ago on ebay , went for under $306.  From what I can see a whole lot of the bottom of that ornament for $500 was missing.  $50 in that condition.  Those things are die cast and extremely fragile, be a bear to fix.

this is the one I sold july 13 on ebay

That's a nice one Mike. I really like the facial feature of that mascot.

I got the fenders  back from the guy I did the trade with, and they look good. I am gonna wait to mount them up until I get the steering and drive shaft completed.  They are the charcoal color and a bit different from the body.   Have a look guys.

[TFoch]

I like it    Can't wait to see them on the car!

While we are on the subject of mascots or hood ornaments i thought i would throw this in  great site lots of good reading---------------http://www.discounthoodornaments.com/...Also my two cents worth at the prices that i see these going for and you got a chance to buy or purchase one cheap why could you not get a couple of packages of JB Weld and have at it by the time you spent 10 hours playing with a broken one and a can of CHROME I will bet you it would look as good as the real deal  Dont forget its only an ornament in our cases  its not pressurized like in the old days.  just my two cents worth of nothing  vette59jdwl

I like your thinking, so I guess your two cents might be worth a bit more. If it's cheap enough it would be worth the effort.

Those fenders look great, Ghost, straight too.

Slow time in my shop, so I study my roadster a bit to much, and discovered some flaws to correct.
1. the body was sitting 1 inch over to the passenger side at the rear of the car not to big of a deal but with the fenders on the tire would have stuck out on that side, Fixed it.
2. The front fenders had a big flaw right where they bolt to the running boards that would have bothered me a lot, so I had to repair the area and then had to scuff the whole fenders for a reshoot. Waiting for a warm day to coat them again. I guess I have time until next spring to get everything right.
