Ajay Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 Hi all, I have to admit that this particular year isn't one of my favourites (would've much prefered a 55 Mercury Montclair) but as it's a kit that I've not built before I though I'd give it a go. It's just going to be a mild custom with lowered suspension & whitewalls.The first thing that I realised was that the front inner fenders were stopping the wheel sitting higher in the wheelwell so I've reworked them with plastic card. I haven't done much to the body except remove the hood ornament,trunk enmblem and door handles. A couple of pics of the body before polishing - the color is Ford Phoenix/Vista orange from Zero paints plus their 1k clear. Thanks for looking - sorry for poor indoor pics Cheers Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I am also have this kit on my work bench. I have also changed the front, and rear inner fenders for more tire room. Could you share more pictures with how you did the front on yours ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ajay Posted July 20, 2014 Author Share Posted July 20, 2014 (edited) Hi all, Thanks for the comments, after 4 weeks lost to the World Cup (and the less said about England's performance the better) I've made some progress on this one, engine & interior are done, paints been polished out, trim Bare Metal Foiled & glass added. All I need to do now if figure out how to lower the suspension !. Thanks for looking - sorry for the poor quality pics. Cheers Andy 　 　 　 　 　 　 　 Edited July 20, 2014 by Ajay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
