Absolutely stunning. I love your work. Excellent!

Pretty neat little car.

Well after 3 years it is finally done. And I am glad with the way it came out. My original plan was to do an all black car but I decided on blue. Shaved door handles and all molds are gone. Only decal is on the air cleaner. The wheels, interior and suspension components are gun metal. I don’t remember what the wheels are other than aoshima and I can’t seem to find them now. They basically had to be cut in half to fit. Suspension is lowered some. Tires are from the revell 1950 Ford F-1 2 in 1 kit.

Coming along nicely! ?

Great looking model.
-
Yes I believe it was the monogram kit that you are referring to?
-
Wow. Impressive builds.
-
While I wait for some bmf for my copo build I pull out the 59 eldorado and put it on the work bench. Nothing special with this one. Basically a box stock build. Wired engine. Hot pink over black which will give it...well let me dig up a picture of a convertible I built a few years ago.
-
So close to calling this one done. Just need to get some bmf
-
And interior complete.

Should get the interior mostly completed today.

Excellent work!!

Nice work. Man I’m tired I thought it was a mustang for half a second.

So I've come to the conclusion that the wheels I have for this project are just simply to big. I've thought about cut the wheel so it is more narrow but then what do I do about the tires? This is becoming more of a headache then anything. Guess I will look for some smaller wheel perhaps...and a chassis. I went through my parts box and found some tires that may work. They are from the revell 1950 Ford F-1 kit. Gonna try that and see what happens.
-
Slow going but its going. Got the chassis painted and assembled. Here is a mock up. I put the slicks on but these wheels make them bulge out and doesn’t look right. What do you guys think of this?
-
Nice job. Love the color combo. I just finished up the 67 from mpc. What a headache that was.
-
Alright so my original plan was to keep this as close to realistic as possible, but with the chassis and wheels I have that is not possible. So I am think of using the chassis from the 66 nova pro street kit as it is tubbed and will give me much more room to work with front and rear.
-
Your work is ridiculous... in a good way ?
-
Thanks David. I spray testors and HOK. Over the years I’ve noticed that with testors if you sand it down with 3200 it lays very well. I generally don’t use primer but with this one I did as there was some body prep, which also got sanded before spraying the blue.
-
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I’ve got two builds going and over looked that. I also need to do a little more work on the spark plugs. I have some telephone wire for boots and distributor from Ted’s model. Will get that figured out but the heads need to come off.
-
Very nice work.
-
Second coat. Maybe one more coat and then clear. Not sure yet. Got a dust speck that needs to be sanded out.
-
Now that’s what I call a sleeper. Nice job.
-
Got a little more engine work done before I stuff my face. Happy thanksgiving everyone!!
-
Very nice builds.
