carbuilder1950 Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 This is a Jimmy Flintstone body that was very nice. Very little clean up, and all the chrome fit really nice. I opened the hood, and gave it some hinges, and used a donor 1957 ford kit to complete it. Woodgrain was a challenging process, but fun. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Good looking wagon and great engine detail work. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Beautiful looking wagon. I like the wood graining work, I also have enjoyed that on a few builds. This looks like the body might have been based on the old Revell kit that was offered with a multi part body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classicgas Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 Well done, one big problem though. Hood is hinged on the wrong end. 57-59 Fords had forward opening hoods. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
