I would like to build an old Ford, I think they looks great. It’s going to be red with a white roof. I have seen that color combination here and I like it. Start with the engine. Change the distributor to one from Detail Master, cut off the little “device” on the side from the kit and pinned it on the new one. Color is Humbrol orange on gray primer.

Thank you! That was what I thought, but I was a little confused about the years, when the Fairlane was a `57.

Beautiful engine and floor boards!

I have bought this detail set from MCG to my Ford Fairlane, but there are parts for an Ranchero also. My question is which AMT Ranchero is the details suitable for??

Very nice and well done!

I follow this!!

Thank you very, much both Túlio and Unclescott58 for the that technical information I love to learn

Nice and VERY cool! Why no "caps" on the rear wheels?

Thank you guys for the kind words! Yes, my brother in law has three of these, a maroon, a lime green and a white.

My sister and brother in law had a couple of this in the mid 70`s. I drove one of them and the gear shift was an amazing thing. It was a nice little kit, and besides my shortcoming with the rubber round the windows I think come out nice.

Very nice!

Thank you Mike and John! It was just the doors including the back one.

The size matters I called this finished. It was a nice little kit, and besides my shortcoming with the rubber round the windows I think come out nice.

Very nice done!

Engine compartment completed. The bumper is chromed with Alclad, no clear so I have to handle it with care. The rear lights are painted with Tamiya clear red and orange. Interior, difficult to take a photo. Next to come, front bumper and wipers. Than glue the doors and put on the wheels and it is ready to roll.

Looking forward to this

I agree, fantastic work, very nice to follow.

Like it, looks real. Nicely done!

Thank you Ray! Small progress. Some details added in the engine compartment. The door handles are “chromed” with Aclad II.

My sister and brother in law hade a couple of this in the mid 70`s. I promised to make a model of one of them. I drove one of them and the gear shift was an amazing thing. This one is from 78, so there are details that are not correct for a mid. 70´s car, I can live with that. First problem was the clear glass doors, and how to make the rubber parts without messing with the windows. Some masking, primer, painting and then try to make the rubber with a permanent marker pen. Not good but I let it pass. Dashboard and steering wheel is painted with Vallejo. Take off the headrest from the chairs (to modern), paint the interior with Vallejo and an airbrush. Put the engine together an added ignition wire and some wash. The “holder” for the spare wheel was not in the kit so, I made one from a plastic rod. (Not ready with the weathering). More to come.

Nicely done! You are doing a great job.

Thank you Doug and Jay. I have to test this procedure, before I do it for real.

Thank you guys! Ok, I can use BMF as mask on the window. What kind of “tip” on the Sharpie marker, is the best for this kind of work? And does Sharpie marker dry flat or do they dry gloss?

I´m trying to get a Heller Renault 4L together. How should I do with these doors? They are in clear plastic, I will paint them white and mask of the windows with Tamiya tape on both sides. But then, what do to get the rubber “list” black, without get the window messy????????

Cool car and nice details.
