Lovefordgalaxie Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Finished today. Still needs a final cleanup, to get rid of the finger prints all over. This 1953 Ford Crestline Sunliner was built from the AMT re release of the Lindberg kit. The steel wheels were resin cast by me. The hubcaps were also resin cast. Made them on my dremel having as base a 1:1 hubcap I borrowed from a friend that owns a '53 Mainline. The chrome on the bumpers came pretty scratched, so I took the chance, and sanded the mold lines, and airbrushed the grille, bumpers, and hubcaps with Molotow chrome paint. Gave a coat of automotive two part clear (Sherwin Williams) on top to protect the chrome. The Special Order part is the color. The 1953 Ford was painted in Lincoln color Majestic Maroon. Hope you guys like it! 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
donb Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Another outstanding build Tulio. Very impressed with your hub caps!
Yahshu Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Very nice, looks as if the clear coat has dulled the Molotow somewhat.
Classicgas Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Another stunner sir. One suggestion, add some basic spark,plug wiring, your engines will come to life.
TooOld Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Beautiful work ! I really like the look with the uptop !
espo Posted October 19, 2018 Posted October 19, 2018 Another superb Ford. Always enjoy looking at your builds.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted October 19, 2018 Author Posted October 19, 2018 Thanks guys!! Very appreciated!! 10 hours ago, Yahshu said: Very nice, looks as if the clear coat has dulled the Molotow somewhat. Yes, a little bit. The clear I used is the one that does it the less. Problem with Molotow, is the fragility of the chrome effect if left unprotected. It's ideal for interior details, and touching up the points where the parts attach to the sprues, but other than foil, is still not the perfect solution for redoing outside trim. 9 hours ago, Classicgas said: Another stunner sir.
