bogger44 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Finished this up last Sunday. I had the need to do a quick build, without putting in a lot of extra details, to re-charge the batteries a little bit. As basic as this kit is, I thought it would fit the bill rather nicely. I was planning on building it stock, but the more I looked at the 427 Cammer parts supplied with it, I decided to build it as a mild custom. With the Cammer under the hood, it would have obliterated those skinny stock tires, so I dug into the parts box and found some wide Goodyears. I did have to dremel the wheel wells and framerails some to get those fat tires to slip under the quarter panels. The steelies came from the parts box as well, and the covers are from the AMT 66 Fairlane 427. Other than that, it's just paint, BMF and box stock. The color is Testors One Coat Lacquer Star Spangled Blue. Wish I had some outdoor pics of it, but the weather has been pretty dumpy up here lately. Anyways, here are some pics, and thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyCoupe41 Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Very Nice! Paint job looks very good and those steelies and wide rear tires fits perfectly on it. Nice Job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Helferich Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Very nice! I love the stance. Most of these I've seen built look like they have busted rear springs. Very cool Ford! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bogger44 Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Thanks for the nice comments everyone. It's been quite some time since I built a kit like this. It was a bit of fresh air building a "quickie" again. Very nicely done. I say we need a new tool 60s Galaxie! I agree, a 63 or 64 please! Very nice! I love the stance. Most of these I've seen built look like they have busted rear springs. Very cool Ford! That was something I forgot to mention (and the only other mod), I did drill new holes for the rear tires to mount into. I hate that saggy rear look.
