66belair Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 (edited) So I am waiting to paint my 83 Olds, trying to get courage to paint something black. Not my favorite. So I decided to start another project. I am going to build a 65 Ford Custom 4dr Sedan. The body is a Time Machine Resin conversion body. I will be using the AMT 65 Galaxie 500 for the conversion. Hope you guys enjoy, this is my first resin body I have used even though I have many in my stash. Trying to step outside my box.

kelson Posted August 12, 2018 Share Posted August 12, 2018 Looks like a nice casting,are you building it as a cop car?or taxi? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 Just a 4dr family car on this one. I have another in my stash along with 3 2dr post cars. I probably build one of those next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 Drilled engine for wiring, started on the chassis. Not sure what I want to do for the interior. I came with a modified bucket, not the best. Still has some of the XL trim showing on the door panels. Trying o determine whether I go all out and try and correct the door panel or let it ride.

Oldcarfan27 Posted August 13, 2018 Share Posted August 13, 2018 You might want to clean out the door gaps with the back of an Xacto blade before you paint it. They look kinda lumpy. Good looking car, though. How about a light gold or tan for the paint? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted August 19, 2018 Author Share Posted August 19, 2018 Not much of an update but I did get the engine block painted and the door handles drilled out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Got my colors figured out and got some paint laid down today. This being my first Resin body it’s turning out”ok” I guess. Didn’t realize I need some more clean up before I shot paint. Live and learn. Wimbledon white and light blue interior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted September 22, 2018 Author Share Posted September 22, 2018 Got some color in the body and I’m going to leave it as is, there was not clean up that I realized. Going to chalk this up to being a resin rookie. My dilemma now is what to do for wheels and tires. I am thinking white walls and the Galaxie 500 full wheel cover, but I also have some open face steel wheels too. Only f problem is the don’t have hub detail for the front wheels. I’m open to suggestions as I am in short supply of dog dish hub caps from the 66/67 Failanes, those are for a couple of other projects.

66belair Posted October 14, 2018 Author Share Posted October 14, 2018 Got a little more done, it’s not much but it’s that much closer to being done, I still need to make a back glass. I was just at my LHS last night and completely forgot to get some clear sheet. Chassis is almost done only needing exhaust extensions and touch up. Interior is as good as it going to be, Used some blue flocking for carpet and modified the shifter to work with the bench seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
66belair Posted October 21, 2018 Author Share Posted October 21, 2018 Finally sitting in it’s wheels. Still have to get some clear sheet for the rear window. It’s getting there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

66belair Posted November 4, 2018 Author Share Posted November 4, 2018 Well went to the Atlanta show yesterday and got motivated to get back on this project. Got the rear glass cut and installed. Hopefully will have this one finished this week end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
