RadRidesByDan Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 (edited) Started with the 60 Starliner by AMT, grafted the roof from the Chezoom kit, the motor from the 32 ford pheaton, custom dual exhaust, the air cleaner was made from star wars X-wing fighter parts parts, wheels from a Maistro diecast VW, and the chassis has had a face lift with tubing to re-inforce, and painted with PPG Teal metallic.

Fisher61 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Very nice custom, the new roofline looks like it belongs, I like the fact that you kept the side trim, I always liked that about these early 60's Fords! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadRidesByDan Posted September 28, 2008 Author Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for the comments guys, really appreciated As for teh roof I was reluctant at first to put it on...... i thought it was to low of a roof line and the window too laid back.....but it came together quite to my liking. Anyhow thanks again for teh great words And George....hang tight.....Ill try to hit ya again ........soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Lombardo Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 That car looks great…I think the Chezoom roof would make even the Pontiac Aztec (world’s ugliest vehicle) look good so on the 60 Ford, it’s a natural. Does anyone know if a reparable resin caster makes a copy of that roof? My son found some for me by some guy just learning to cast, but the quality was so poor that I need to rebuild them with styrene support on the inside and lot’s of putty on the outside. Very clean custom…nice work, Oh yeah, the color works well on it too. The only question I have is the lack of chrome trim on the Ford hood logo and the "name" on the front fender, in fact, I think they could have both been shaved, but that's no big deal.

Joe Handley Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Roof really works good on that car, would look better with slightly more detrimming and a slight drop in the front ride height. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
