Don't see many old 60's customs. Looking kool. I wonder how one would look with the passengers side rear treatment on both sides?
Keepin' an eye on this one since I am into a 60's custom also but it's a 64 Mercury.
I'll be watching this because I actually enjoy this kit. It was my very first build. Bought it an Open Pantry convenience store in the old Advent box!
I mentioned it before but other than the short roof the body is more accurate than the newer Revell 57's
I have a few of these myself and I'll give you a hint, go ahead and assemble the body first. I sanded the ridge out of the top of the front fenders, filled and smoothed them and added the the ridge back with 1/2 round.
A little sanding on the rear quarter will correct the body line. It tapers down in front of the rear tire. The front fender between the bumper and body line needs sanded because it is too thick.
AMT front bumper, valance and grill work great. The Revell grill works, but that front bumper and valance are incorrect.
The Foose wheelbase was lengthened by moving the front wheels forward. I do not think correcting it would be to difficult tho. I do not have the Foose kit to compare but know some of the modifications to the 1:1
Ironically the overall body on the multi-piece Ranchero is worlds better than the Custom 300 and Del Rio. Body lines and proportions, other than the roof, are far more accurate. The Custom and Del Rio both suffer the same issues.
The main eyesores is the bulky front end and huge dash hump for the speedometer.
For anyone near Wooster, Pro Street Nova's, 64 Impala's, Cutlass HT and conv's, 67 GTO's, GMC Jimmy's and Malibu's still there... Sorry, cleared out the Mustangs.
I decided to go to Ollie's to see if they had anything today, nothing. I stopped at Walmart which hasn't had anything lately and low and behold marked for clearance! $5 each! Wooster Ohio. And no I didn't buy everything
