Chrysler Atlantic pics

[PHXKSTM]

I have been researching for a bit and I just get pics of the real car. I would like to see what people have done with this kit. If you browse other forums or have one in your collection, please post it up.

Trying to get ideas any ideas on what kit to bash for bumpers?

I found these sites with pics of the real thing.

There's a nice two-tone build-up on this page (along with some other nice cars).

With all the curves, bumpers are going to be a problem. Maybe grind something from 50's Corvette bumperettes to fit.

Oops! I misread your message. I put "chrysler atlantic kit" into Google search and found a few nice builds. Nothing with bumpers except a real one with little tube strips that could be bumpers or just more trim.

"Lindberg Chrysler Atlantic" got some, too, including this one:

PS - Found a real cool pic of a Karman Ghia custom, so thanks for sending me on the search.

I'm surprised we don't see more Atlantics built. It's a nice lookin car that would lend itself well to customizing.

I think a lot of them get built, but mostly stock with just color differences (saw a nice blue & white one while doing a quick search). The modified ones either don't post or use some made-up custom name so that it doesn't show up under the search term "Atlantic".
