I hate it when I saw the car before, but can't figure out the brand!!!! Harry, I want to kill you!!!

This little car had a very distinctive feature. It was air cooled. I have some pictures of different years of Franklins on books, and according to the info on them, the cars had no cooling issues. What I like more about the car in the picture is that it looks to be unrestored. That's golden to me.

It's kind of familiar, but I just can't recall what it is.

Very well built mistress. The love shows on all detail, and she looks great for a Mopar I wish I could find a '66 Galaxie four door sedan body so I could actually build mine.

Very nice!!

Thank God!! I'm really relived. I really used the wrong tone on my first comment. Had a really, really bad day yesterday, and on top of that managed to ruin the paint on the kit I'm building right now. Hope you can forgive me.

I'm sorry if I offended you Brian, I just saw on your model, the perfect opportunity to show that Revell did a lot of mistakes on the instructions. The two tone paint like you did, is what Revell says people to do on the kit's instructions. The same for the splash pan and the interior. There are several other mistakes, like telling the modeler to paint the starter, fuel lines, and oil filter all gold, the firewall black, and the list goes on and on. Where did they come up with this colors from??? They should do a minimum research before printing those instructions. Lot's of people barely have the time to build the model. Are they supposed to find time to do Revell's job too, and research every single detail online or on books? I think the instructions should give you the correct information to build a correct box stock and factory stock model, and they don't do that. Like I said before, your model looks great, and I don't even know if you were aiming for a factory stock build. Just took the opportunity to warn people NOT to blindly follow the colors the instructions tell you to use. This is a good point for any kit, and not only Revell's.

That's nothing short of a work of art!!!

That is an accomplishment you made there. Transforming the trashy Lindberg kit, into a stunning model. I didn't even try. By the way, what a spectacular black paint!!! They always look better as they left the factory.

Nice!! Now the derivations from what would be factory correct: The two tone scheme is wrong on the rear, as it's supposed to go only to the trunk lid, and not all the way down the rear panel around the licence plate, but it looks good anyway. Also, the 1957 Custom Tudor only had one color option for the interior: Two tone gray. Revell's instructions are wrong when they tell you to paint it body color. Also the drip rails are not chromed. Revell's instructions are wrong again when they say to paint the driveshaft black, as it was bare steel, and the differential gear carrier was painted oxide red, not black as the instructions said, or silver. The front splash pan is "argent" and not body color, another mistake the instructions make. The chrome trim on the rear window doesn't go all the way down, it's supposed to be a line of red showing between the chrome and the white on the trunk. Finally, the front inner fenders, are separate parts from the floor pan on the real car, and are painted semi gloss black, both inside the engine compartment, and on the wheel wells.

Thanks Gary!! On my Flickr page I have lot's of Galaxie pictures, you can use them as reference. Your car looks great!!!

You got really lucky with the color as it is very close to factory color Prairie Bronze. I built one in that color last year. I used paint mixed from the original Ford color catalog, and it really looks very close to your's. Take a look: https://www.flickr.com/photos/lovefordgalaxie/sets/72157635035657964/ Drive a Galaxie every day, and think they are really great cars. The kind of car you can always trust.

Very cool video.

Great job!!! The interior looks fantastic. I can even start to like Mopars... Well, let's not exaggerate

Thanks again guys. I usually don't add extra detail, but this car deserves some, and I decided to detail the engine just a little more: 1932 Ford Victoria V8 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr I'm calling it done now.

Very nice!! I also don't like detailing engines.

Thank you again guys!! That won't happen. Can they transfer it to Russia or Cuba?

That really shines!!!

Nice model, terrible wheels. I'm sorry , but I just don't like this kind of wheels on anything. On a classic Cadillac it's almost a crime. I'm being honest with you here, don't get it wrong.

Nice to see one of those so well built. Here they had a nickname "hot ass" because of the rear engine. They were replaced here by the Renault Dauphine, and that one had another funny nickname: Leite Glória (Glory Milk) that was a brand of powder milk that was advertised as easy to break, in the sense it would easy to mix it with water. The car was also "easy to break"

That's nice. Sometimes less is more.

Great job done on a superb car!!!

This is the AMT kit.

I may not be the most honest person to say a word about this model, but it's great!! Nice color choice, and superb subject choice.

The spirit of the 1932 Ford motorcar:
