i got a 58 ford 4 dr wagon promo i took some distortion out of it, cast it, then cut it up into into some different pieces. this is my 58 rancharo body built with a 57 rancharo kit donor. thanx for lookin oh ya i know it has the wrong taillights, but my 58 rancharo is suppose to have 58 taillights, ford should have done it originally. i actually never realized it wasnt built from a 4 door, but from a 2 door wagon. found out the 57 and my 58 models were both wrong. but they look good sitting next to each other. built 11/8/25

mark, i have seen a few manhattans customs. they have a different look stock with the high roof. but the customs have that roof flattened out and that lowered seems to make it look longer also. ya manhattan bodies are a lot harder to obtain. thanx guys

built my created 39 ford standard custom coupe. used the interior from the amt 40 ford coupe kit to build this one. i used a testers 38 smoothster chassie i moved rear forward on it to fit tires into the wells. used the smoothsters motor, but needed to move it forward some. found a gas tank section in my parts drawer that fit great. still needed driveshaft when underside pic was taken. thanx for looking built 9/12/25

built my created 39 ford standard sedan. used the amt 39 40 ford sedan kit to build this one. had to cut to fit the front of amt sedans interior tube to fit with the fire wall i used when creating the standard sedan. was going to try and use testers 38 smoothster chassie i moved rear forward on to fit wells. but decided to use 39 40 because easier all around(except for alter front of tub and bottom of firewall. decided to put a wider rear tire and wheel from parts drawers) cut in each side of frame, then used each piece on opposite side and cut off extra now on outside. thanx for looking built 9/10/25
