57 edsel rancharo

[damodelguy az]

 so i just got back from grand national car show ( a Maze ing) lets see now, i combined a 58 edsel kit and a chopped 57 ford rancharo,  hardest part was making the tail lights, then few years later i got a edsel wagon and it had them, but that was too late.    also a 59 retractable and a 57 ford, (still a project).  and the 57 chevy nomad rat i found a pick of, i guess then it came out in a resin. i used part of a modified chassie kit under it. (still a project).

I really like the Edsel Ranchero. In the late '50's this was a somewhat common conversion. The point where you joined the two bodies is interesting but that saves the Edsel trim. The tail lights look perfect. Should you ever want to do such a conversion again try and find an early issue of the AMT '57 Ford as that was one of the custom options in that kit. Converting the '57 Ford into a Skyliner is an ambushes under taking. The '59 roof portion looks lower than the '57 roof in the picture.

I like both of your projects.

Great job on the Edsel, nice bit of sliceology on the Skyliner as well.
