So this one will be painted red with a grey interior I just saw my un-built one on the basement. It seems to be a very nice kit. I want to build it, but I am undecided on the color combination. I am looking forward to seeing your build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldcarfan Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I was a Ford fan as a kid, so I never really payed attention to these cars. Now I really like them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maindrian Pace Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 I built one when it was a brand new kit. Painted it Testors Burgundy purple with the factory black accents, box stock. It was a nice kit, great proportions as I recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bisc63 Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Really like this body style, and that color is going to work NICELY! Is it me, or does the front end sit a bit too high? Or just a loose fitting mock-up, maybe? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can-Con Posted July 28, 2018 Share Posted July 28, 2018 Looks about right for a stock build in the last mockup pic to me. Tires are too large though. But that's what comes in the kit. They do sit quite high with the stock suspension. I'd like to get new springs for mine with about 2" lowering but don't want to compromise ride quality at this time.
