Beautiful looking paint finish and body trim. Like the horse blanket interior. The Moon hub caps bring back some fond memories from when that was very popular. The stock appearing engine detail looks great.

Very realistic looking dashboard.

Like your paint scheme. I just finished something similar on a '57 Chrysler 300 that I'm working on. I also have a resin '58 Yoman that I have threatened to do something with for a while. How and what all did you do for your hood? Which doner kit are you using for the chassis?

The lower line wagon is good looking and could be one way around the door length issue. Just a personal choice but never cared for the '58 style hood, even on '58's.

I'll be looking forward to your build when you get back to this. I might offer a couple of things to consider accomplishing your body modifications. Consider using plastic stock to create the extension of the tail fins if you still want to do that. This way you wouldn't even have to touch the body side moldings, and you can shape the fins the way you want them. Widening the doors would have you redoing some or even all of the body side moldings. The kits rear door edge could be filled and a new door opening line cut into the existing molding as one way to do that. The reshaping of the B pillar could be done by cutting away the forward portion of the pillar and run it parallel to the exciting back edge, but there is the door handle that you would have to replace. As for the engine, if you don't have a good-looking Ford Cammer engine from another kit think about a 3D printed one as there are a few good ones available. As to the suspension changes, the Revell '57 Ford kit has little room for wider tires than stock with the kit's inner fenders. While the wagon kit is actually better than the coupe it is still tight unless you reshape the inner fenders. Depending on how much you're wanting to do on the chassis as the prototype has an aftermarket chassis you may be looking at a 3D printed chassis as well. While costly, at least some excellent aftermarket 3D chassis and engines would make this easier to do.

Great looking interior.

Thank you for sharing. Great looking models.

Like the aggressive look and paint finish.

Great looking build with a traditional color combination.

Neater than my desktop. I don't waste time with cleanup until I'm finished.

Beautiful paint finish and color. Great looking engine and chassis. Like the stance.

Great looking paint color and finish. Good looking engine detailing.

Edsel did have some bright color combinations at the time, some were even had three colors.

Thanks for sharing. Always liked the Javelins and the AMX's. I knew a guy who bought a new Rambler Rogue with the small V8 and a 4-speed, great handling car and faster than it had a right to be. These cars often didn't get the respect they deserved.

Sorry to hear about your foul weather. Unfortunately, this happens around here as well at times. The local news channels always flash a message on the TV at those time to remind everyone to "Turn around, don't drawn". Still there is always the video footage on the 10 pm news showing rescuers and helicopters trying to save someone who also thought their car was a motorboat. Seems to be a recessive gene thing but the gene pool is slowly getting shallower with each storm.

Great looking paint finishes. The V 12 engine is a great idea. Like the stance and rolling stock.

Great looking paint and decals. Like the engine detailing. "Hemi Thunder", well I wouldn't doubt but what someone somewhere may have used that name on such a 1:1 car.

Beautiful paint colors and finishes. The engine detailing looks great. Like that you can display this with the top off or on.

Beautiful looking wood finishes along with the body paint. The interior detailing along with the chassis all look great as well.

Great looking paint and wood grain trim. Adding the Cadillac grill, rear bumper and taillights is all well done.

Great looking paint and trim finishes.

Major body and chassis work. Like the Ford in a Ford setup.

Thank you for sharing your photos. A lot of great looking models.

Great looking paint finish and two-tone treatment. I think Moebius was wise to offer the Mercury version of the Ford pickup with no more than what they had to do to change it.

Beautiful looking paint finishes. Watching your chassis and engine build this you could even displayed them with the body sitting alongside.
