At dis point , I give up............................................ Ed Shaver

David back when the 352 was used in Ford products , the air cleaner was usually a Dark Royal Blue as in the Ole Testors Square Bottle dk Blue . In fact , the whole motor would be considered correct if it were painted in that Blue too. Some of the "Police " specials were indeed Gold . If you got a Dealer Preped Dual Quad or E code motor use the Gold . Sionce you're going for mass appeal and a replica stock Galaxy , use the Dk Blue . Now for under spray I agree with a previous poster. Don't bother ! Use a good semi - Gloss Black and a good Flat black to differentate things like you're radiatior support and the inner fender liners . The firewalls of the full size Fords were body color then . The fender liners , paint them a flat color . I would then move to semi gloss enamels for the radiator and the support . I hhope this helps ya . Ed Shaver

Sooooooo, Douglas , uh what did you write about ? In 1973 I was too busy with College and trying to do a part time job in a body shop ! Ed Shaver

O K , First Unitarian church in Richmond Virginia asked mne to do these as a favor to help out with fundrasing . I did them for that purpose so if yer in town , bid them up Plulleeeezzzzzeeeee...... yes kids , it's a glass vase turned upside down too........ The visable is a Bowser C- 117 from 1920, the kerosene pump in the middle is a John Wood 25gallon and the Clock dial is a Penn- O -meter from Pennsylvania Pump co -1932 . The visable has a small light that illuminateds the viasabile tank . The kerosene dispenser holds the switch and the Clock dial does the electrical connections . Ed Shaver

Marcos , it's not owning a camera ......... look I collect cameras . Heck I got old cameras that take sheet film . I also know how to process any black and white and color films too. I also used to do color slides but they are such a pain in de neck to do !!!!! I have a photo scanner that just the other day decided to quit working . The problem arises when you try and convert a film image to a Jpeg digital image ! Now we lose a few here as some of the poster people here don't have a working knowlege of a Computer picture hosting forum ! Heres where the computer "Literates seperate from the somewhat literates from the complete illiterates ! Now that I've managed to totally confuse the heck out of ya , I have a service station diorama to work on ............... Ed Shaver

Well you have shown me the reason i need to get annother 37 Ford truck . I built mine as a "Factory Stake bed" several years ago back when it came out in the 90's . The barrel nose from the 38 shoullda been included back then . I remember when Bob drake first came out with the reproduction grilles for the 1-1 trucks in 1983. I was impressed by the grille and now with you're truck , hummmmm ya got me ta thinkin now ! Ed Shaver

Uh , did you remember to carry you're American Express card ?????? "Remember , don't leave home with out it " , Carl Maulden - 1968. Ed Shaver

Mike , I will help , but exactly what kind of help are you wanting ? I'm not a mind reader so can you narrow you're wants to mabye a few areas ? Ed Shaver

Monty , first I don't have this kit . Second , I just looked at the post , third I will look and IF I see one in the future I might even remember to give yopu a P- M to see if you still want one . As for the Bad news traders , I know who they are , no , you're currently not on any of my lists of traders nither good nor bad . Ed Shaver

Now thatI have seen this bit of wisdom , I'm gonna go glue some plastic togetha ! Ed Shaver

Ya might as well go an re- build it if it's what you say it is . I for one certainly would . Ed Shaver

Dammn Sam , yer at four hubcaps ! Are we about to go for another round ? Ed Shaver

It's amazing as to just how big and heavy those rides were , 73-5 Chevrolets . I had a Pontiac Bonniville from that era for a short while . it was a freebie from my then insurence agent . He did't want to overhaul the engine as it really needed one . Ed Shaver

Now that looks like a wrecker ! Ed Shaver

Doug,great start ! maybe who knows , you might even surpass a couple of "Critics " out there ". Ed Shaver

George , it's a conspericacy !!!!!!!!!!!! Ed Shaver

Ya know I bet Edsel Ford had already had this idea and the "Old man " probably Kyboshed it too. Budd Body company which made a lot of bodies for the Ford Comapany would have been the company to have done this one had Ford not been in such dire financal straights then . Very interesting ride ! Ed Shaver

They're both very attractive . Ed Shaver

I have that kit Mike . I'm planning a stock build as I actually know a person who owns a 48 model . Thanks for the offer of a post though , I'll look at it . Ed Shaver

Well Ed, now that it's getting to be 114 degrees in the shade , I guess you'll be running the ole "Swamp Cooler" full blast as you sweat out details at 4am in the morning . I wont return to Arizona . Too many has beens and never will bees. Idid like the ole Hippies I met up In Heber though , at least they were honest and they warned me about going to Phoenix . Ed Shaver
