Lookin' real good Matt, as my dad had a new '57 Fairlane back-in-the-day. I'm currently workin' on the '57 Ford Custom, and building it as a "gasser."

Very nice Matt!

Good looking paint and foil job Matthew! 

Always interesting to see other builder's workbenches too. I do have a question, what do you use the pop rivet for? Always great to get another tip.

Cheers Misha

Looks real good so far.

[Mattsteel85]

BMF basically done! 

 

 

[OldNYJim]

Looks GREAT so far!  Cant wait to see more - very clean and nicely done so far

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Looks really good. 

Are you going to paint the gold anodized aluminum insert on the side spears or are you using gold foil?

[66belair]

That is some nice work!

not sure what I'm going to do... I do ha e gold foil but think I mak try painting it

[mredjr]

Good job so far on not such a great kit. The tire look good what are they out of?

[StevenGuthmiller]

Looking really nice Matt!

Have you ever used Alclad paints?

The gold anodized trim can be replicated very nicely with a mixture of Alclad "Pale Gold" & "Polished Aluminum".

Might be a little late for that at this point though.

Probably would have been better to try that before the foil was applied.

Personally, I think it looks just fine as is!

Keep up the good work.

It'll be a beauty when it's done!

Thanx guys

[Mattsteel85]

I'm still a noob at this whole thing! I built a few with my dad as a kid...still no expert! This was my first 2tone paint job and I have a few overspray marks where the tape wasn't tight enough  but I'm happy with the foil job and how well the doors fit!
