Revell 1957 ford gasser wagon

[tbill]

started on this awhile ago, and it sorta got set aside during other projects, but it's back on the bench. have a lot of the parts painted and ready for detail, but i wanted to see how it was gonna look up on wheels, so last night i mocked it up to see how we were looking,

 

I think I'm gonna like it thanks for looking.

Looks good!

 

[Ron Hamilton]

I like that!

I just picked up one of those kits today, to use some of the "gasser" parts on a sedan, along with a Resin button & tuft interior from Replicas and Miniatures CO. of MD. I have to raid the parts box for some pieces, including a FE or SOHC Ford engine and a HD Automatic Transmission. I am thinking Black of Dark Green.

I cannot wait to see that one finished!

That's a nice color on that car it's going to look pretty sweet when it's done. What color is that you used?

Looking nice, Tom.  I like the color.

[tbill]

thanks all

Vince, the color is a GM color called 'Ladies and Magenta-Men". I work at a Chevy dealer, so when I see a color I like, I order some right from GM in a spray can.

Thanks bill I might have to look into getting that color I like it!!

...the color is a GM color called "Ladies and Magenta-Men"...

Boy, that's about the most non-PC name I've ever heard for a color. I love it.

Great colour 

great subject choice

I'll be watching your progress ?

[tbill]

got some work done, lot to do yet,

also forgot to post this pic in my first post, figured I would try a lace paint job, not perfect, but not too bad for a rattle can job,

 

thanks for looking

[tbill]

more progress,

moving right along, few more bits to paint, and need to polish the body and bmf it. thanks for looking.

[DumpyDan]

Awesome looking, lace looks good on the roof

[geetee66]

Taking shape nicely!

Engine is a gem

Interior is spot on. Funnily enough, I was only just considering those bucket seats for my current build. 

Didn't come from the AMT 32 phaeton? Or were they from their 57 Chevy kit.

I can't remember. Very cool though, in metal flake ?

[geetee66]

Forgot to say the roof looks ace!

[TooOld]

Sharp looking paint , and the engine looks great !

[tbill]

thanks guys

GeeTee, not sure where the seats originated from, got them out of a buddies parts box

 

engine compartment is done, and the chassis is about 98% finished, just need to add a couple bits.

next up i guess will be a few hours of foil work and some paint polishing, thanks for looking.

Nice work!

[Davewilly]

Looking really good!  I really need to get me one of these wagon for my drag collection.

[Johnt671]

I'm getting this as a Christmas gift. Nice work on yours.

[ChrisBcritter]

The bucket seats are from the AMT '49 Mercury. This is turning out real sharp!

[tbill]

i might just get this done before years end

[tbill]
