This is the AMT release of the 1966 Ford Galaxie 500. I picked this up on Ebay. It was missing a seat and the engine block. The inspiration was the Dave Kindig Galaxie. Just as I started in on it, @Koellefornia Kid dropped his. I almost put it back on the shelf at that point but decided to take a different route. I lobbed off the top and went without the graphics. Since I had one good seat, I put it in the copy machine and made another. Can you tell which is which? I can't remember if I used Krylon or Rustoleum for the flat white exterior. The red interior is Apple Barrel Pure Red craft acrylics. The engine was missing so I robbed the boneyard for that. I added plug wires, carborator connections and return spring, fuel lines and radiator and heater hoses. Then decided to go curbside. I may put in the 7 litre at another time, just not now. I used stick pins for the turn signal switch and sun visors pivots. The sun visors are sheet styrene cut freehand. I don't love the wheels but they are a good fit for this build. I should have left them chrome. The disc brakes are flat washers and the calipers are scraps of sheet styrene painted red. I used a chrome pen and BMF for the bright work. Thanks for looking.

Thanks Mike. Everyone does things different. I like to paint the floor and package tray the color I plan to use first. Then I apply a healthy coat of Elmer's white glue with a brush. Keep it an even coat. Give it a minute to level out then I use a home made sive -A tablespoon with the bottom cut out screen material in place of the cup. I fill the sive with flocking material and spank it over the project. After fully covered, I tamp the material down with a scratch built tamper -tube styrene and scrap styrene. Again, everybody has different techniques, this is what works for me.
