Nice progress Andre, been following your build.  Really nice work so far...

Thanks for the update photos, looking good!  Noticed your tail pipes and reminded me I lost one of mine, they are so small and they just roll around and get away if your not careful, like me.  I will have to open kit number 2 to get some more.  I've been having a little trouble with Photobucket too.  Wonder if they are in the process of making users switch to the new.  Hey, keep up the good work, you are almost there.

Thanks guys.,,the closer you get to completion the more things turn up.. I need to sharpen my skills.

Hello Fellow builders..

 

Well its getting to that time . Almost done time.

The only thing left to do is the hood. This was my second attempt to paint this hood, and I failed. Waited a few weeks after to sand.

Here is how she sits now...just asking for a nice warmish day so she can go into a glass case.

 

 

 

Thanks for looking... and your patience. lets check the weather forecast.

Glad to see you back.  It looks like we are both going to finish about the same time. I am to step 14 on the directions, all the tiny trim pieces and decals.  Are you ready to start a second '57 Ford?  It might be a lot faster with everything we have learned about this kit.

Hey Ron.. I have been lurking and fixing a thing here and there on this build. Nope this will be the last I build this Kit probably. Cant wait to get my hands on the pro stock Camaro That is coming out. really cant wait.

but for now I am on my 76 Caprice.

[rmvw guy]

I purchased my second kit already so, looks like I will be building at least one more.  I plan on making it a Stock Car Racer of some kind.  I really want to do the '50 Olds next but, still trying to finish up some other projects first.  Good luck on what ever you build and I'm still looking forward to seeing your '57 finished.  You inspired me to start my earlier then originally planed by watching you in the beginning of this thread. It's been a long haul with several steps backwards for both of us.

Success I finally got my 3rd attempt to fix the hood right. waiting for paint to dry out on the hood ornament and she is done

 

 

Thanks for looking.

I can't believe how much grief that hood gave you.

It's gonna be something that will always be associated with

your '57 Ford and then you'll just grin about it.

BMF work is looking clean too.

[Custom Hearse]

Looks good. Can't wait to see the finished work.

[rmvw guy]

The hood looks good finally!!!   It will be worth all the grief.  I think this is a really cool car. 

[thatjellyfish]

Looks great. Can't wait to start mine, well priming don't count haha

[codie27]

Looking good, this kit looks like a good one.

[Scalper]

thanks for looking.
