Hosted on Fotki Greetings fellas! This is a little something I am cooking in the old Cruz family basement for you to enjoy. It is based on the Lindberg '53 Ford Victoria, a kit I have always wanted to build and also one that was voted kit of the year after it hit the shelves in it's debut. Nothing special, just a few extra resin parts from my favorite resin caster Norm Veber from Replicas and Miniatures. I am lowering it slightly and with Norm's '53 Ford "Hop Up" kit I will be able to hit the streets and Custom shows "sleeper" style and kick some "culitos" here and there. The stance you see in the picture might change slightly, I just wanted to see how the rims and whitewalls looked. I am currently in the process of putting the engine together along with the distributor wires and wire looms. Norm's resin hop up kit already includes the wire looms and they are terrific, I just wanted to use the hypordemic needles to simulate mine and have some fun experimenting. I also purchased the Model Car Garage '53 Ford Victoria Detail Set for the emblems and a few other things along the way. I also purchased their Stromberg kit which includes the stromberg resin carbs and P/E linkages and parts. I will just go ahead and add the pictures, feel free to ask in case of any questions....
