RancheroSteve Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 (edited) A relatively quick one for me (only about seven months, but then I've usually got about four or five builds going at once). It's kind of a departure from my usual builds, so at times I felt like I was in unfamiliar territory design-wise, but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Thanks for looking - questions, comments, criticisms welcome. Edited May 20, 2016 by RancheroSteve 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Is the body supposed to be semi-gloss? Just wondering, because it looks like it's not shiny, but it's not flat like that "suede" style, either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl Marischal Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 Nice work.Not familiar with the prototype but the front end strongly reminded me of this --> https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=ford+zodiac+mkiii&biw=1256&bih=583&tbm=isch&imgil=gkNh9X6q3sRC2M%3A%3BERRSafrh-8RDWM%3Bhttps%253A%252F%252Fen.wikipedia.org%252Fwiki%252FFord_Zephyr&source=iu&pf=m&fir=gkNh9X6q3sRC2M%3A%2CERRSafrh-8RDWM%2C_&usg=__NoG76USMpi8taMZo3vv0Uh6spq0%3D&ved=0ahUKEwj8_5itqenMAhXDAsAKHUYsCooQyjcINQ&ei=ylw_V_zyM8OFgAbG2KjQCA#imgrc=gkNh9X6q3sRC2M%3Asteve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RancheroSteve Posted May 20, 2016 Author Share Posted May 20, 2016 Yes, it's Mr. Surfacer primer with a light coat of wax. I was going for that DP90 look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I think it looks great & I'm not a custom kind of guy! I am however, an ugly early '60s Mopar kind of guy!! I just love these '61 Mopars in all of their homely glory! Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 I just love these '61 Mopars in all of their homely glory!Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think that's a very cool looking car. The 1960, not so much, but to my eye the '61 was a huge improvement. And a cool-looking design, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very cool Wayne! I've never gotten a really good close up look at it, but I've seen it cruising around town a few times. It looks to be a real beauty!
