Hood is hinged on the wrong end. 57-59 Fords had forward opening hoods. So nicely built that I didn't even see the hood hinges in the back.

First wood grain effort. Not sure I'd do it again🥴. It took days, and one tiny mistake would have ruined it all. I wouldn't call it skill, as much as dumb luck 😄.

Sledsel Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 Fantastic. I love the wood grain. Obviously based off the old Revell wagon and not the crappy Del Rio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimmy Flintstone did a beautiful Job making the body useable, and as having more than a couple of his bodies, I'd say from all the bodies I have purchased from him, this is one of his nicest that I have, but His 4 door standard wagon is just as nice, if not even nicer. It's still waiting for some love in it's original box. I love resin as well as the plastic kits.

Lowlife ! ! Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Fantastic looking Wagon, great paint, detail , everything ! I may be mistaken, but the only guy I know that builds wagons this cool also has a thing for hugging trees ! Am I right ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maindrian Pace Posted September 11, 2021 Share Posted September 11, 2021 Fantastic looking Squire. Having worked on a number of '57 Fords, there have been many times that I have wished that they had standard forward opening hoods. Access with the reverse hoods can be a real pain, I usually have to remove them and set them aside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Great job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
