Bob Ellis Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 I used an annual 1958 Sunliner and the original Ranchero kit
Scalper Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Nice work and grafting the body together. Looks really nice.
espo Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Looks like a lot of work, but really made it payoff. Great looking build, nice job on the side moldings and bed rails.
geetee66 Posted February 13, 2017 Posted February 13, 2017 Great job!Very clean build and those wheels look just right. Gives it a bit of attitude.
'70 Grande Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Love seeing unusual builds that turn out to be really outstanding builds, especially when the process is explained. This one is just plain, outstanding!
Bob Ellis Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 Ford decided not to use the 1958 station wagon tail lights so it was easier to use old Ranchero kit. Roof was wrong so I extended it ( Revell used 4dr front doors.) Wimbelton white and some red that I can not remember.
High octane Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Great job on that Ranchero and excellent color choice also.
DumpyDan Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Really cool, good work on combining the bodies
donb Posted February 14, 2017 Posted February 14, 2017 Great job on that Ranchero and excellent color choice also.I agree! Like the wheels too.
Bob Ellis Posted February 14, 2017 Author Posted February 14, 2017 (edited) Trim was Evergreen Styrene. It was a major job scribing the hood open as the 1958 plastic was very think and hard. A brasstube an brass rod became a hood hinge. It took 2 Ranchero kits. The roof needed to be lengthened. You can see where the red and blue kit parts are mated together. Revell inner fender wells were glued to the underneath of the AMT front clip. The wheels are 1970s AMT Street Rods parts from 1964 Impala (1973 issue) Tires are skinny Revell Goodyears painted whitewalls. Fortunately the headlights in the AMT 1958 Ford were not glued in. I did not destroy a mint 1958 Ford Sunliner! Edited February 14, 2017 by Bob Ellis bad grammer
