raisin27 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Circumstances have kept me away from building for most of the year, but I recently was able to get back to the bench for a bit. I started this one awhile ago so the paint and foil was already done. I did get some of the engine details done and started on the interior. I cut the hood latch and wiper motor from an AMT 58 Edsel along with using the battery and master cylinder. The small hubcaps are from Modelhaus. I do plan on trying to make the Derby City Shootout this year and with any luck I may have this one done. Thanks for lookin, Raisin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwc43 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 Nice. I really love the detail on the engine. Makes it really stand out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 That Victoria trim looks great- was this a resin body or a homemade conversion (if homemade, you're really good). Love the color and the engine detail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrObsessive Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 I love the sleeper looks of that! In fact I like this version of trim better than the Fairlane 500. Excellent work so far Mike! BTW, WHERE did you get those engine bay decals?? I've got a '57 I'd like to do similar to yours................I've got the interior decals (Keith Marks) but the engine bay details would be great.

Mr Obsessive.......the valve cover decals are from the kieth marks set, the rest are just decals I found on various sheets in my parts box.

Fisher61 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 This looks like it's going to be one of the best looking '57 Fords done in scale ever! Did you change the interior trim as well ? I like the hood latch you added, scratch built I take it? Can't wait to see this one under glass, it's going to be a beauty! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I am working on changing the interior trim also, with any luck I can have some pics of that up soon. Raisin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
