    You could also go to the Aftermarket/Resin section on this site and check out Alumilite, they have a large selection of molding supplies. Also Owencraft offers door handles already done.

    Basic '49

    I like that. Very clean look with the standard wheels and wide whites.

    Another great Ford build. I share your affinity for Fords of this era. I once owned this same model in white. It had been ordered with the 312 and 3 speed overdrive. With 4;11 gears it surprised many who thought it was maybe a 6 cylinder.

    Beautiful build. The color looks like a perfect match.

    I'm building a '48 now that is more of a mid '50's too early '60's with a Chevy V-8 from a '57 pick-up I build last rear. If you need these parts let me know, there yours if you think you could use them.

    Great looking build. Thank you for sharing your building techniques.

    If you haven't looked already, the Revell '48 Ford coupe has most if not all of the period parts you would need. The kit is current and I'm sure that more builders are building something other than a PD car so I would think getting these parts should be easy if you didn't want to buy the kit.

    Amazing body work, great color.

    Outstanding body fabrication, it looks as if it was molded that way to begin with. I like the interior ideas for the seats.

    It is still a good reference picture of a Ford Victoria or Convertible. The standard Ford interior was much more "standard" than picture.

    The second picture with the tan interior is a Ford, not a Mercury.

    Very impressive interior. The fender flairs complement the body lines without making them the focal point.

    Beautiful engine display. You should be complemented on your efforts in the accuracy of the engine builds.

    Great looking build. I like the way you detailed the hub caps, just like the 1:1.
  15. espo
    Looks like a fun build.

    Great looking build. I like the bucket seat idea and the Rally wheels look perfect.

    Nice looking convertible. Was the canvass top on your fathers car maroon ? Those were great cars, I had a '51 tudoor that served me well and I drove it like I stole it.

    Great looking "Baby Bird". The black body color really shows the body lines.

    Congratulations on the well deserved first place. The Camaro and the Willies also look nice.

    I'll enjoy following your build. I bought this same body a few years ago and just haven't found the time to build it. I like the way you used parts from different engines to make the Pontiac engine.

    Rust-Oleum Textured paint comes in black or white that I know of but other colors may be available. It dries to a fine textured finish that may look very close. I have also used it for vinyl roofs.

    The tires in the mock-up seem a bit oversized in relation to the body. As shown on the red Bronco above, the add on fiberglass flares that were so popular back then still look the best. Maybe with a slightly smaller diameter tires and a mild lift it might look better, but then that is up to the builder.

    Unbelievably real looking. Outstanding detail on the interior, engine and chassis.
  24. espo
    I like the concept, just how high are you going with this ?
  25. espo
    Great looking build. The color and finish really stand out. Just the right "rake" on the ride height.
