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. 😎 looks very cool!,who offers the resin body?.

Nice wood insert on the steering wheel and detailing on the dash and console ! You say O-rings for the bezels ? They might go by a different name. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 Last update:just doing a little test fitting to see how it sits,i repainted the car and decided to shave off the door handles and drill out the keyholes,i have some P/E for the keyholes and some resin doorhandles to use. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 Looks good aside from some minor alignment /fit issues between the interior tub and body but that'll be fairly easy to negotiate. That paint looks as smooth as silk Curtis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelson Posted January 28, 2022 Author Share Posted January 28, 2022 Part 2 of the update the front grille was stripped and repainted using Molotow,but there's is a strip of body color between the front grille and bumper that's impossible to paint,the taillights were difficult as well😐 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
