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.

Bringing it back from the dead 57 Ranchero
Sledsel replied to junkyardjeff's topic in WIP: Model Cars
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

Revell 57 Rancheros

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. -
Came out great!

Ollie's strike again

The Big Rig trailer and Rat Fink trailer are totally different kits. $24.99 is pretty close to normal price on the Big Rig trailer too. -

I have this Foose Cadillac that I picked up with some other built ups but really don't have an interest in it. It looks complete other than the air cleaner is missing. It's built pretty well but the body is brush painted. Most definitely not a glue bomb. It is definitely dusty. I am looking for the older Monogram Goodyear tires (like on the Early Iron series and 55 Chevy Street machine) Tires from the MPC Monoco Goon car and Chrome steel wheels. Or? I am open
