fitforbattle Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 As if I didn't have enough on my workbench,I started this kit. I do not know a lot about fords, rods, three window,five windows etc. All I know is what I've seen in magazines and from the Swedish rod scene. I hope you'll enjoy this build as much as I will. I started out by mocking up the wheels and tires and lowered the suspension enough to get it slammed, then I removed the drip lists on the sides and scribed new door lines. Then I removed the pillar in the rear window. Partly because I like the look of it but mainly to practice freehand scribing. Some more cleaning up needed before the next layer of primer.

Belair2k Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 Maybe you could show us how you got that stance or is just sitting on the tires... You said you lowered the suspension. I'd like to see how you did that. Thanks Need to buy some paint for this so it's kinda stranded atm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see how you did that. Thanks I can snap some pics when i get home. The rear was tricky, had to cut some off of the framerails and when I almost got it as low as I wanted but not quite enough, I cut the wheel hubs in half and glued the halves back together with a slight offset. So the driveshafts doesn't quite align with the centers of the wheels, but that's something I'll have to fix later down the road. Form>function amirite Pics are coming.

fitforbattle Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Got the paint for the wheels/chassis/engine/interior details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fitforbattle Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Shot the engine/tranny and the doors with the accent color. This petrol/turquoise will be used in the interior, chassis, wheels and engine. Body will be mostly primer grey. Next up finishing the powerplant. Washes, carb, wiring etc. C&C welcome.

"Fits the interior decoration, that way you can keep them in the living room". Women, cute creatures. I sometimes wonder how they function.
