Mahogany Rush Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Just finished this build replicating my brothers old wagon he had when we were much younger. It was just Gray and White. The kit was awesome and fit together very well. It was my first 2-tone paint job, so I figured I would paint it all white first, then mask it for the gray. Just in case I messed up the taping, it would just be the white parts. Came out pretty good and then did the Bare Metal Foil before the clear coats. Here is the finished wagon. Won't win any awards, but my brother will be very happy when I show him. Don't know why it lists the engine for orange and not blue, I went with the orange. Edited January 19, 2017 by Mahogany Rush
PARTS GUY Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Like the color combo. Yes a redish orange is the correct engine color. Ford did not use blue for the engine block until 1966.

Tom Geiger Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Nice work. That is a typical color scheme. I need to get one of these built!
espo Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Really like this build. You're correct on the engine color, it was a red color with the black valve covers and a flat silver air cleaner. I had the pleasure of owning two different '57 Ford. You brother is going to love this.
geetee66 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Pristine work!So clean and crisp. A real beauty which I'd be glad to see on my shelf.
