Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 This is a replica of my Dad's 1967 Ford LTD which he customized. I started with a 67 Galaxie from Motor City Resin Casters and extended the C pillars. Paint is Tamiya Mica red and the vinyl roof is made with Model Factory Hiro's adhesive cloth. Tires are from Fireball Modelworks wrapped around Oldsmobile Fiestas I got from Paul Gardner as well as the side mirror. Lakes pipes were provided by my buddy Clay at Caloosa Plastic Modelers. The Galaxie interior was modified to match the LTD and the engine is from an AMT 67 Comet. The rear end sits a bit lower than I wanted and there are a few flaws but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks for looking and let me know what you think.
RestoModGuy Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Great looking Tribute build! I'd say you nailed it! I've been building tributes to some of my dad's cars from the 60's as well, really fun to do.
lizardlust Posted June 5, 2017 Posted June 5, 2017 Simply GORGEOUS and a lovely tribute to your dad!!!
Foxer Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Beautiful replica ... you did it justice! I have two of my Dad's cars in the works, my favorite kind of build.
59-Desoto Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Very well done, agree with the others you nailed it buddy
darthsideous Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Thanks for posting pics of the 1:1 that this build up represents, as well as, explaining lol the mods. I feel with the right background that this model would pass as a real car. Very nicely done.
kelson Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Great work!,really impressed with the modifications to the interior.
Maindrian Pace Posted June 6, 2017 Posted June 6, 2017 Looks fantastic, I bet nobody else ever thought about building a '67 LTD but they were great looking cars.
