How did I loose this?? It's great!!! A very correct '66 Fairlane. And what a great paint job

Very, very very very nice!!!!!!!

Thanks John. It's great to know that you liked it!! The most important thing is not to find the correct answer, but to have a good time looking for it, at least for me it's the way it is. Not to mention all the cool cars you find while looking!!

See? You are having fun already.

That's a very cool Ford you have there!!!

Thank you!! Your opinion is very important to us, and it's filed under protocol: 46-3825-96877353 Thank you again!!

Very nice!! Just don't let Harry see that magazine on the dash...

For the internet generation, I present you a wonderful thing: A page of a book!!!

Very funny!!! If it's not online it doesn't exist. There are those modern things that carry information and don't need a battery, or any special program to work. They are called books, and were used by people to research all sorts of things trough all history. Researching on a book is too hard? Don't have any books to research on? I pity you, oh technology dependent creature with no culture. That's why the world is going to the hole. By the way, I found the car on a Belgian webpage, just a few minutes ago. Just because I scanned it from a book, it doesn't mean it is not online. http://www.triumph-belgium.be/pages/hier/petite%20histoire.htm

The car is a HE 16/65HP manufactured in 1927. By the way, I didn't find the car online, scanned the picture from a book (Enciclopédia do Automóvel, 1969, edited in the UK for the Portuguese language countries) We had one winner this week: DonW

Yes, it's quite old. But it's a nice looking car!!! And it's NOT from Brazil

Very nice!! Looks perfect!! I beat it was really fast, like 10 MPH or something I imagine what they were thinking when made that tilter. Well, they kind of vanished in a few years time, so we know it was a crapy way to steer a car.

Remember, don't post any hints or answers here!!! Send me a PM with the correct make model and year of this beauty: Auto ID par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity The answer is: The car is a 1927 HE six cylinder 16/65HP. HE stands for Herbert Engineering. Very British.

That's what I call a quality job. Museum quality. Awesome, just awesome!!

WOW, this is gonna be hard to beat on this year's run. Loved the way the car looks from the outside!!! The modern engine, not so much, but the level of detail is beyond amazing!!!

Loved the paint and the craftsmanship. Didn't like the wheels, stance, Engine, etc. The car would look a lot better factory stock, specially with the level of craftsmanship we see here. Remember, i'm the guy that loves cars the way they left the factory, brand spanking new.

I just can't get tired of looking at this car. It's soooo tasty, soooo well done!!

You never know. I think I know that museum...

This is the original race car that gave birth to the Bianco. It's name is Fúria GT (Rage GT) The car was taken to SEMA in 2011. Fúria GT par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity Fúria GT par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity The Alfa Romeo engine: Fúria GT par Túlio Lazzaroni Lovefordgalaxie, on ipernity

I even didn't blank the emblems on the wheels. Don't be over confident, it's not always a car from Brazil The Bianco is not a kit car, it's a production car designed after a race car that was built in the 1970's by a guy named Tony Bianco, and had Alfa Romeo underpinings, including the engine. The car was called great looking by so many people, that Tony decided to start a company and make a street version of his race car. Like using Alfa Romeo engines would make the car super expensive, he adapted the project to use the VW Brasilia chassis and engine. The engines were hopped up to produce between 130 and 140 Hp, and they were not slow, but not "fast" either. The cars were hand made, and quality was high, but even with hopped up engines, the car never could deliver what it's looks promised.

That's what I call a great car, and you did it justice on the build of the model. I like the stance, the color, the hubcaps on the front, but didn't like the engine choice. As a maniac Y-Blocker I know that a hopped up Y can be more powerful than almost any modern mill, and they sound just too great to replace, at least on a real car. Like this is a model, I'll give you a pass Very well done!!!

Ok, this week we had no winners!!! The car is a 1977/1978 Bianco S, a Brazilian made sports car with air cooled VW engine. http://planeta-fusca.blogspot.com.br/2013/12/bianco-s-1977.html http://www.propagandasdecarros.com.br/propagandas.php?id=4694

Very nice job done there!! I don't have access to Novus here, and I use 3M polishing compounds or Turtle Wax Rubbing Compound. Never used them on acrylic clear tough. By the way, I was just watching a re-run of Grease here. That's what I call a coincidence!!!

All Ford-O-Matic I've seen here on unrestored cars had casings painted silver. Maybe something done for export?? Since cars were fully assembled (including painting) here in Brazil from parts made in the States and in Brazil, I suppose some differences can happen, like the voltage regulator color. In "our" Birds they were marked Autolite in yellow over dark blue. I also heard stories about cars leaving the Ypiranga Ford Factory in São Paulo custom painted in Lincoln colors and with Edelbrock intake manifolds.

Thanks a lot guys. You won't believe this, but after all that fuss I removed the paint on the washes and the car is now just like she was when I first built her. Why? Believe me or not I, and it's a ME thing, was thinking the wash made the Ford to look modely, to copy a word Harry used. It improves the realism on pictures, but with the car on hand it's just very artificial looking. The Revell kit has very superficial panel lines on the trunk, and on the front of the doors. The wash gets too much on the surface, and even being on a correct color it looks as bad as a black wash. I think that the way Marcos Cruz posted is the best, if not the only to produce a realistic panel line, and I will try it... On a '57 Ford, of course!!!
