Boy this must be the season for people to be working on '53 Fords... I think this is the 3rd one I've seen in progress or finished in the last few weeks... and I also happen to have started working on one about 3 weeks ago. I'm not happy with the kit engine and didn't want to create a mini project by switching to a later model Ford engine from another kit (you know how it is... you change ONE thing, and then you wind up having to change SIX other things...) I wasn't in the mood for a long project, so I'm doing a Curbside sort of mild custom...

Not trying to rob your thread here Fred.... Just commenting on how many '53 Fords are in the works here.... I'll hopefully post pics of my own build soon.

On the stretch to finish the interior ....

I forgot that 3 days ago i went to buy some paint and lacquer ....and i Bought a Krylon Semi-Gloss Lacquer...

I thought i should spray some on the interior as for my taste it was a bit flat ....

Here is the result ...much better i think ....
