TooOld

Thanks much Carl ! Thanks Larry ! Thanks you Chris ! Thanks very much Peter !

Absolutely beautiful ! That's a body style that's easy to not like unless you have a sentimental connection to one . . . my Dad bought one new , a red convertible . I was only 4 or 5 but remember that car well .

Nice work on the door and rear panel . I agree that it does look better than Revell's early versions , the fact that it's a diecast makes it even more impressive !

Thanks much Glenn ! Don't know if they all had green logos on the center caps but I had a set that did , thanks for noticing .

Thanks very much guys !

Thanks much guys !

That is super nice ! I like that you saved it instead of rebuilding it into something new and the chrome reverse wheels are the perfect upgrade while still being able to display it as a survivor .

Great colors ! Looks like you managed to get the glass to fit just fine .

Very nicely done ! Looks like you've got these kits figured out .

Thanks JC ! Ooooo I 'd love to have one of those ! Thanks Dennis !

Thanks Peter ! Thanks ! I scratchbuilt the hinges . Thanks Tommy ! Those are the chrome headlights with a little clear/white mix brushed over them . Very hard to get the right mix , I redid them several times .

Thanks very much guys !

Beautiful ! Your choice of colors seems perfect for this car , plus it's a super clean build . Great job !

Nicely done Pat , you'e got a great collection started there !

Thanks much Roger ! Yes there was some interference but not too bad , I ground down the top side of the chassis to get it to fit .

Thanks guys !

Love the colors on this , another beauty Jim !

Beautiful AAR 'Cuda !

Great custom work and paint !

Thanks very much Steve ! I'll probably do something quick and easy next . . .

Thanks ! Thank you ! Thanks , I agree !

Thanks Lee ! The T-Bolt chassis has the correct wheelbase but is a bit too wide . I took 1/16 inch off both sides at the rocker panels and and ground a considerable amount off the rear wheel tubs and towards the rear of the chassis , after that it fit like a glove .

Thanks guys !

Original AMT '63 Fairlane kit using a Revell T-Bolt chassis , 289 HiPo engine from an AMT '67 Shelby GT-350 , wheels & tires from Revell '32 5-window , and miscellaneous bits and pieces from my parts bin or scratchbuilt . Paint is '63 Ford Glacier Blue from AutomotiveTouchup.com . All comments are welcome , thanks for looking !

Great looking Fairlane ! So refreshing to see one that's not a T-Bolt .
