Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Just finished this 1957 Ford Fairlane. I have lot's of Fairlane kits, but this one was incomplete, the driver door was busted in three parts, and the body had a tire burn on the trunk. To save the kit, I built it as a 1950s road racer chevrolet behind kicker The engine is the stock 312 Y-Block hopped up with a Paxton supercharger, and headers. The engine was also wired. Inside, the stock bench seats were deleted in favor of two little bucket seats and a cardboard cover to seal the trunk opening from inside the car. Also installed a roll cage, and a floor shifter. The build took me four days start to finish. paint used is Tamiya TS-15 on the body, and a mix of Revell, Humbrol and Testors for the rest. Hope you guys like it. 1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity1957 Ford Road Racer par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 5, 2013 Author Share Posted December 5, 2013 Thanks guys!! I'm very partial to '57 Fords. My first model kit ever was a AMT '57 Ford. My favorite 1950s cars is the 1957 Ford. My second favorite engine ever (second only to the Flathead) is the Y-Block V8. Well, you got it... Probably I should take a picture of the 5 '57 Fords I have built all together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 it's a beaut model, althought i would have deleted the trim and badges. You know, I gave a thought about that, but on some period pictures I saw, the vast majority of cars had trim and badges, even the ones road racing or moonshine hauling.
