TFchronos Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Sweet classic Richard, yet another fine statement of 50's automotive design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Myers Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 That is Kool Richard, ya got all those little '50's touches in to make one wonder if you grew up in the olden dayz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Ellis Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Looks great. Now you are going to give Revell ideas about how to reissue that kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Jonathan, Greg and Bob, I thank you all very much for your great comments. Greg, I'll have to confess that, yes, I did grow up in the 50's and have always loved those "bolt-on" custom touches from those "olden dayz". Bob, I seriously doubt that Revell would want any of my ideas. Not everyone likes the retro-custom look of the 50's / 60's, but thanks anyway.

Greg Myers Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 (edited) My first thought seeing the pictures of your build and the title " 57 Ford Mild Custom" the first thing that came into my mind was the old AMT kit with all the old custom parts. Then I saw what you did and the fact that it was the new Revell kit and all the kit bashing and detail added I was pleasantly surprised. Not having really looked inside the new kit I wasn't sure what Bob was talking about. But back to the build, just goes to show what one can do with a little imagination and creativity.

Ramfins59 Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Thanks very much for your very encouraging and kind comments Greg. I really love the look of the "old school customs". While I really hate to be repetitive in my builds, I feel that each car has its own look and style and IMHO most 1950's cars look good when "dressed up" as mild customs.

Lovefordgalaxie Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 It's not stock, but you know... I like it a lot!! No chop on the roof, nice wide whites, Y-Block under the hood, cool fender skirts, cool taillights... Very old school, and THAT's what I like!!!
