Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Finished this one this morning. After seeing the red '53 go, I decided to build one for me. The color was mixed from Acrilex water based paints to represent Timberline Green. Since the acrylic paint dries flat, I gave the body two coats of automotive two part clear. Mixed a slightly different tone of metallic green for the interior. Foil is home made. Still don't know about the fender skirts. Think I like the car better without them. Also plan on the future, to get a set of wheels with wheel covers for the car, instead of the Pace Car wire wheels included in the kit. 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Beautiful Sunliner, that color looks really good on it. I have two of these on the bench right now, one is box stock and the other is a short track car without the front fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeakDoc Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Gorgeous build. Details, paint...everything. I think wire wheels look super sharp on her and I totally agree with you on the skirts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rider Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Absolutly amazing, I really dig the colour. One question, all that amazing work and attention to detail, why no plug wires, just curious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbowser Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 That's a beauty, that green is stunning. I really like the slightly different shade for the interior. I agree about the wheel covers versus wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Beautiful looking Sunliner. Ford had a shade of green at that time and your mixture looks exactly like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olschoolkid Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Nice ford. I like the green, it gives it some good style. I agree as well that some different hubcaps would look good although the wires aren't too bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's metallic. 4 hours ago, Rider said: Absolutly amazing, I really dig the colour. One question, all that amazing work and attention to detail, why no plug wires, just curious. Thanks!! For me it's very rare to add detail other than what comes in the box. Still trying not to make a mess with what the kit provides, LOL!!!

Anglia105E Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Now that is a really nice model Tulio..... and the green paintwork suits it perfectly. Also, I think 1953 was a very good year for American cars David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
