kelson Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Haven't posted a build here for a while,so thought i'd share this one i was planning to build a pace car,but the aftermarket decals were in one of the other kits.Luckily i had some unused paint from a couple years ago on hand,interior will not be black if possible.🤠 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Today i just put on a coat of primer on most of the parts to find any hidden flaws.🤠1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Wasn't crazy about the molded on exhaust on the original chasis,so i bought a chassis off the reissued 69'Cobra,since the exhaust is separate.🤠2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bucky Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 First time I've seen one of these being built. I keep searching for one of these kits, but they always seem to go beyond the old bank account! Carry on... I'll be checking it out! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also have a resin hardtop that will be Lime Gold , great color ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 Great find on this long out of production Ford. The body looks very nice and your upgraded chassis should look more accurate as well.  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 If you want a better chassis, use one from an AMT '66 Fairlane. It's almost a drop in. Just needs a little clearance work on the transmission/driveshaft tunnel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have an extra laying around,but that was my first plan.With the fairlane being reissued soon,hopefully someone will part one out on Ebay.🤠Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 It's been awhile,but still working on this one,was shooting for a two tone parchment interior,but the colors turned out a little to light. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelson Posted November 21, 2021 Author Share Posted November 21, 2021 The dash and steering wheel are complete used 'O' rings for bezels,the engine is getting wired,hopefully more updates during the week.Doing the black on the console was impossible 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 nice dash detail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooOld Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 I like the interior color , not sure if it will look too light when it's finished . Nice wood insert on the steering wheel and detailing on the dash and console ! You say O-rings for the bezels ?

David G. Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Nice detail work on the interior, the color combination should look great with the body. David G. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairlane1320 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 Looks great!!.... I'm looking forward to seeing it completed. I own a 1:1 '68 Fairlane hardtop, so I collect and build 68-69 Fairlanes/Torinos. My '68 was born Lime Gold, but I didn't care for the color when I bought in 1982, so I painted it Wimbledon White. I like the color now, so one of my many WIPs is this Lime Gold 68 hardtop, i'm building it to replicate my car when it was new.  😎 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom99 Posted November 22, 2021 Share Posted November 22, 2021 The factory color is a great choice. I am looking forward to see how the custom interior looks with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
