Thanks! Hopefully it will be under glass soon
-
After months of Modelers' Block, I was finally able to cut and fit the glass, and get the chassis attached. Here's a mock up. I hope to get this buttoned up this weekend. It's sitting a bit high, but I've tried everything I knew of to get it tighter. Comments welcome!

I like that color? What shade of green is that?

UPDATE ON THE FURY: I was able to get a bit more work done on the Fury. Cut the bench seat down and made buckets. Painted the interior a satin black. Chromed the rear seat insert. Scratchbuilt a console, and added a straight pin as a shifter. Thanks for looking!

Thanks, guys. The BMF was Chrome, but it was some I've had for a long time. It tore easily, even with a sharp blade
-
The foil is BMF and I really did not like the way it turned out. Too heavy and yes, torn places at times. But I keep working and practicing!
-
Thanks. Your picture is very helpful. The roof isn't attached yet. I'm thinking vinyl top, and I might as well get that done while it's off. But I'll take care when I attach it
-
I'm loving your style! Where did you get the wheels? And can you tell me how you did the roof? Thanks!
-
Awesome build! I love the old wagons. And yours is sweet! Thanks for sharing your story

Update on the Fury. I chopped up the back seat to add the recess in the middle. Scratchbuilt a console. Cut the original bench seat in half to make buckets I added a little color just to see what it would look like. Thoughts? Thanks for looking!

I use the Easy Off (don't use an off brand) and put my piece into a plastic shoebox that has a lid. Spray it outside, close the lid, and then you can bring it back in. Works for me! Happy modeling!

Sorry Guys and gals. I'm gone. We had a house fire

Great subject matter for some rust! And of course, some holes!

On another thread I started while working on a '68 Fury wagon, I admitted that I had really chopped up the original body from the police pursuit kit. So I started thinking about how to put the body back together. It hit me that the '67 GTX has the same roof line as a Fury Sport. So I cut the top off the two, I rescribed the door lines to make it a two door. I'll probably add bucket seats and a console I'll probably make the GSX into a convertible, but that's a different story. I'm not sure if I'll ever finish this one, but it's fine to give it a try Enjoy!

I had no idea there were 2 castings! This one is giving me fits. I'm still having fun with it, but I can I'm ready to be done with it.
-
I love this car! Great job! And who in their right mind would just trash something like this? Thanks for saving it!

While frustrated with some other builds, I changed gears and started work on the AMT '70 Galaxie police car. But I wanted to make it more like one we had back in the day. So, I found a green close to my memory of the Ford, made a vinyl top out of tape, and found some stock looking hubcaps from the parts box. BMF ended up a bit thick and too shiny, but you get the idea. I kept the interceptor engine, though, just for kicks. Enjoy!

Quick Update The wagon project really stalled when I had problems with the fit of the "glass". So I bit the bullet and used the front windshield from the kit. I also redid the roof rack and wired the battery. And, like so many of us, started working on other projects As for the original kit, I think I've found a solution on what to do with the roof that I cut apart. While looking through the forum I noticed a sweet '67 GTX that had the same roofline as a 2 door fury. So why not cut and swap?
-
Does anyone know what happened to American Satco? Or someone who carries white walls?

March Update: I've been fighting the fit of this resin kit for a while. I got a new hood, and now it seems I need new front glass. But I wanted to give you a few updated shots. Got the roof rack built. Found some incredible wheels in the parts box that are perfect! One day it will be under glass....
-
Great job so far! I really liked that you mixed your own flocking. Much more realistic in my opinion
-
Correct! All high performance engines (police) were also orange
-
I tried to do some research, and finding different colors for different engines, chose the color I wanted. Lol! I've been working on the roof rack, and hope to have it finished this week. -John

A brief mock up. Not crazy about the roof rack, so I will be re-doing it. Thanks for looking!
