Dave Wood Posted May 16, 2013 Share Posted May 16, 2013 just off the bench today,its an All American Models Resin trans kit I was going to use the 60 ford as a donor but it would have taken way too much modifying to make it work so I used a 57 Ford, I changed the interior to accommodate Bucket seats from a T Bolt and a parts box Console with photo etch guages. I also ordered the replacement white wall tires for the revell 50 Olds but used them on this with parts box wheels.%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images46.fotki.com/v530/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2149-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images51.fotki.com/v299/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2170-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images20.fotki.com/v113/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2171-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images12.fotki.com/v540/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2172-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images54.fotki.com/v104/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2174-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images50.fotki.com/v406/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2173-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images50.fotki.com/v1524/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2177-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images51.fotki.com/v731/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2178-vi.jpgHosted on Fotki%5BIMG%5Dhttp://images51.fotki.com/v628/photos/7/519667/11913275/ModelCars2179-vi.jpgHosted on FotkiLink to Buildhttp://public.fotki.com/ClubVic312/my-models/1959-ford-ranchero Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
