Thanks. I think it's turning out great to.

I'm almost done with it. I'm considering putting it in a contest for replica stock. What do you think so far?

Thanks. It was popular color combo in those. I think it will to once it's all foiled up.

Testors gloss cream with testors gloss black. 8 coats of cream. 4 of gloss black. Just needs the trim work done. Airbrushed

Beutiful Impala! I won my 1st model car contest with my 58 Impala factory stock build I won the replica stock class. Mine is the Revell Monogram 58 though.

Yes it's 1/24 scale like old monogram kits. After building this I will be buying more of ICM's model t kits. It's nicely detailed and the fit was great. Only issue I had was the top was slightly warped but I used super glue to put it on and used 2 spray cans to hold it down. Thar fixed the warp. Although I'm not a big Ford gut I always have liked the Model T because it is so significant to the American automobile industry and it changed everything. It is a very important car.

I started June 10th and just finished. I airbrushed Testors gloss dark blue and gloss black for the body paint. I built right out of the box but I did add ProTech braided line to replicate the spark plug wires because I felt it was a good resemblance. And I did scratch build the spark plug terminals for the trembler coil box under the hood. And I rubbed the white rubber tires in dirt to make them look used. It's the oldest car I have ever built a model of next oldest would be my amt 25 T roadster. It was my 1st ICM kit and I am impressed overall. Although brass plated parts would have been nice to have.

All I have for Airbrush right now is a Badger 250 and I tried Alclad chrome while back with no luck so I didn't think Alclad brass would work either.

I decided on Rust Oleum Metallic gold. It replicates brass well but isn't as metallic as Testors metallic gold. And Tamiya gold leaf I tried but it was I thought too dark. Thank you for the tips. I will post pictures when the Model T is done.

Thank you for the tips! I will keep you all posted on what I use for the brass on the T.

I have some Testors brass enamel paint but its too dark. Is there a better option to replicate brass trim on a early Model T? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

Thank you so much! I like those trucks with that style of molding so I wanted to add it

Thank you

I built the new reissue of the kit as a short bed instead of stepside I used box from monogram 77 gmc fleetside kit. I scratchbuilt the body side moldings ,drip rail moldings, mud flaps, nerf bar steps and floor mats from Evergreen products. Also scratchbuilt pcv valve , power steering reservoir/ pulley and oil and trans dipsticks.Fully wired and detailed engine and used 2 barrel carb from spare parts and steering wheel from foxy box chevy van and master cylinder/booster. Paint job is Testors gloss dark red and Testors metallic silver. Aftermarket parts from Morgan auto, Gofer, best model car parts and detail master used. The reissue is upgraded with decals for interior and body. It was fun. Almost 2 month build

Thanks guys. Its Tamiya light green

Not stock color for 75. Mags and big tires in back. Edelbrock carb and headers. I made exhaust pipes out of tube styrene. I have always liked Gremlins. Some aftermarket and scratchbuilt parts.

I added edelbrock 4 barrel and headers to engine. Big tires in back and turbine mags. Many aftermarket detail parts and some scratchbuilt parts. Its my first Gremlin. I always have liked them. Just finished it today.

I love the old tri tone paint jobs and thought shag carpet fit it well.

Thanks everyone! I got the barrel and steins from parts Tom Daniel beer wagon.

Thanks everyone. I love those 70s 80s color combos.

I built it from the Turtle wax kit. Some aftermarket and scratchbuilt parts.

Cool. I either use rattle cans or my 250 badger airbrush. That looks sharp another nice old econo! I can understand how the decals mite be tough. You did a good job though and paint job looks great. Like the Mustang rims to.

Very sharp Econoline.... Paint job looks great. Rattle can or airbrush? Also cutting the side door was a nice touch to add detail. Is the door glued in place open? I have the 77 cruising van issue in my stash.

Very cool! I think decals look great! In building a custom dodge van at moment.

I seen picture of this one in mountain green with SS hubcaps. That made me want to build mine like this. Beutiful car
