This one has been fighting me the whole way. And just when I was making good progress, the painting of the body took a turn for the worse. 

Between a mistake on my part and a huge unexpected spittle from the airbrush I will be redoing the paint as well. 

It may not be anytime soon as I feel I should just box it up and let the emotional mishap drain out before rushing into another disaster. While it is disappointing I will press on. But not today, I'm played out!

Man this one is fighting you! Probably a decent idea stepping away from it, I usually do the opposite and cause the situation to spiral out of control.

[James2]

Yea, I've got to much time in it to ruin things now. I'm gonna like you say and step away for a time.

3 years later , how is this project coming ? I've just read the whole thread. Love both versions. is the second one sectioned too ? Hope to see it completed ?

[Modlbldr]

I, too, would like to see some progress on this one. I have a couple of 53 Customs (one is a more modern custom) that are on the bench.

Sadly I gave up on this one, but I gave it to a friend who is working on it and I'll see if I can get some pix.

Please do! And if your friend wants to trade it off, please let me know. The 53 is one of my favorites and you were headed in the right direction. I'm serious. If he wants to trade it, I'm in!

for sure !! ?

[James2]

So I have inquired and the response is favorable! My buddy is now searching the archives for the Vic and when he finds I will be in business. This should be interesting because i have never gotten back a model that I let go before. If you have let me know what happen?   

[Zippi]

Such a nice looking 53.  Love the old Fords.

I think the power plant from a Revell 69 Mustang Mach 1 should do nicely.

With a 428 CobraJet, this car may be low, but it certainly ain't slow!
