I have one of these also, so I am watching. I know that rear end size is CRAZY, but it is not far off from what was used.

Old kit, but I always liked it. Lookin good

Looks great. Always liked this kit, it just looks good

Heck, it is written "Superbird" on the box. I could tell neither were 500's. Everyone above is correct, the pre-FF DOH chargers had the 500 window. I have one or two here.

The kit engine is a supercharged YBlock. Set of Boss Mustang what? LOL Search alot of photos of 57 Fords, this kit has a bunch of flaws and can look much better with the right changes

I Love it!!!! Took a moment to figure what kit this was. Looks awesome and the details a superb. The paint is awesome. I must point out a few technical issues tho. Your valve covers are backward. The squared end goes to the front for the cam gear clearance. Also, the oil pan is backwards, the sump should be in the front for the oil pump clearance. They did make a shallow front pan with a rear sump for these issues. This is not meant as a criticism, just an FYI. I have done similar things in the past with makes I did not know better about.

Cool, Have thought about something like this also. I have the police parts from these if you need them.

Wow, That wagon photo shop looks so long, although it is the same as before.

I have 8 57 Fords (AMT) and 9 58 Edsels.

Testors black and orange enamel, no clear and Plastikote odds-n-ends periwinkle, no clear

Hemostats

also, these were predominant in the late 70's-80's FYI

I have an extra Dart scoop

I am proud to say I have never watched any of the F&F's movies...... Yes Yahshu, that Charger was "something" LOL.....

as money allows, I keep every makes colors on the shelf. Your build is looking great. Like you, I prefer the Firebird over the Camaro

Looks really good. Only off thing I see is the missing light treatment. Ya should have added some aluminum tubing for the ring. Still great weathering on it all.

Sweet!!!

Very cool. and more cool she want's to "see it"

Very cool build

Lookin good. Those Chargers were noted for rust between the door and rear wheel opening, along the rear shelf seam/gas cap and the rear of the decklid too. FYI.....

I'd cut those little angle pieces off and glue a strip of styrene along the rocker tight to the floor and sand to shape. Then spread the body over the floor and the strip holds it in place. Wanna get fancy, cut and sand the top of the styrene strip to follow the floor pan.

Yes, may have been part of the sport package or something. I do know it was an option.

Love it! Ironic I found this in my closet at my parents this week. Glad I took care of it. Wish it fit still tho

Love it!

If you compare the kit built and the pic Brian provided, you can really see how much arch there actually is. Just look at the door line from the door lock to the bottom of the rocker. As mentioned, the rocker work will relieve a lot of it. The rest will look okay. Another mention is the front of the decal stripe, it is a bit off. Should follow the body line Are there 2 different hub caps? Rear should be a red medallion, the fronts have the lock out hub (actually open center) Just curious if they caught that.
