Thanks for the suggestions guys!! I will post pictures as it progresses.

Hello everyone. Well this isn't really on the work bench yet as my plans are to enter in the model car show in February. But, I do need some help. This wheel be my first time lowering a model car and I would like to keep the realism of it if possible. The rear end I have figured out. The front suspension is another story. A-arm is mounted to the frame and there isn't a lot of room to hack off the spindle. I was thinking of sawing off the A-arm to bring it up some but there ain't a lot of room to do that. So any suggestions, advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!

One sweet ride

Wow the Black one is gorgeous. Can you tell us where you got that picture of the black nova from?

Yeah the backup lights are there. Guess I missed that detail. Will get it fixed up over the weekend. Thanks guys

That is a beautiful wagon. The police license plate doesn't fit in my opinion. What are the colors you used? I love the interior!

Hello everyone. Here is a 1958 Edsel Pacer. This is a box stock build like most of my models. It is painted Testors French Blue and Gloss White. Matching Interior with some bare metal foiling on the door panels. The engine is factory correct Goldenrod yellow 361cu v8. This being an AMT kit it went together rather nicely. Not very many fitment issues. All comments welcome. Enjoy!!

Yes I am working on that right now

Here it is Completed.

Well its been a little while since I've last posted or even worked on the Edsel. But I am back at it. Got the engine painted Goldenrod yellow. And most of the interior is done. I have a few more parts to paint and let dry then I can start gluing parts together and get this one done.

Ok here is another update. Little bit more bmf on the passenger side. I can't do much more until I get the paint for the engine so I got another build goin usually got two or three goin at a time.

That is very interesting Maindrian Pace. I didn't like the color at first but it grows on ya. Here is an update pic.

Well Steve dared me to be different so here it is. Testors French Blue. I think it will go good with the white.

That is a great looking car. They certainly don't make em like they use to! Talked to my local hobby shop. Gonna pick up the paint tomorrow and get started. Sent an email off to scalefinishes and still no reply. So I'm gonna have to cancel the order and put the Satellite on hold. Very upsetting. Be different ya say there steve? well a 32 Ford Five window coupe I did comes to mind. It is Aluma Yellow Pearl over aluminum. Came out a yellow-ish Green.

Thanks for the advice Steve. I'm gonna go with the Horizon blue and White. Just need to see if the local hobby shop has that paint and a few other items.

oooh wow that is a great color combination! I may have to do that instead. Has anyone ordered from scalefinishes.com recently? Sent an email but Have not heard back. Might have to order with mcw for my factory colors. Thanks for sharing LoveFordGalaxy

aah much appreciated there sir. thank you.

The engine calls for goldenrod yellow paint. Not exactly sure where to get that color from. Any ideas?

Probably Red and white since I have it...well I have Red, need to get white. Not sure on the interior. Maybe matching. I don't know.

So here is my next build. Was gonna start a plymouth satellite but still waiting on paint. Come on scalefinishes!! holdin me back. Anyways, What I found interesting inside the instructions was this little pamphlet from 1998. Nearly 20 years ago we could get 6 issues of the blueprinter for $10 dollars!!

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Can't wait to see the finished product. Beautiful color choices. Should look real nice when its done. Here is one I built last year. Lipstick red and a black roof

Alright here it is. Finished it up this morning.

No word why. My guess is licensing issues. IMC had the tooling a few years ago but Chrysler didn't want to license it.
