'56 Vicky.

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Just finished. 

Paint is Tamiya TS-64 dark mica blue, used to represent Ford color Nocturne Blue. 

Two part clear, home made foil, and some of mine rubber resin tires.

Antenna was made with a couple of hypodermic needles, and the mirror is a resin copy of the piece that comes with the Revell '57 Ford kit. 

It was supposed to be a hot rod, with a supercharged engine, and Cragar wheels, but in the mock up stage, I did the mistake of also teting the factory wheel covers, and wide whitewall tires, and the Cragars had no chance anymore. Reverted the engine to a bone stock 312 V8, but kept the set of under dash gauges, just for fun. 

Hope you guys like it.

Another awesome build!

Might I suggest including a link to the "On The Workbench" thread so others can see how you did this?

Yup, another knockout !

Another nice and clean build, Túlio! I love that paint job! Often, those ´56 Fords were painted two-tone, but this dark blue all over looks perfect!

[peekay]

Another lovely classic Ford from your bench Tulio.

So glad you opted for your own excellent whitewalls and dropped the Cragars.

Nice choice with the colors Tulio. It is a beauty.

[Scalper]

nice work... love the trim on the back. nice paint.

Another beautiful looking Ford for your garage. I followed your build and agree that adding a link might help someone who didn't see what all you have done better appreciate your build. In the photos the Blue is so dark that unless you view the photos showing the metallic in the paint you would think it is Black.

Another great build. Wish I could lay down paint the way you do.

Danke Sagen!!

I think the single tone option, specially with dark colors, makes those cars to look even better. Somewhat more aggressive.

Thanks Peter!! Even tough I really like Cragar SS wheels, they had no chance once I compared the looks with the proper '56 Ford rolling stock. Bad part is, I'm officially out of tires. Have to make more...

The color is way dark, I took outside pictures today, but it's kind of cloudy, and even with natural light it still looks black on some pictures.

Thanks!! It's Tamiya TS-64 dark mica blue. Very close to the actual Ford color Nocturne Blue, from the 1956 model year.

Looks great !  Love the color and the finish!

I like this 1956 Ford Fairlane Victoria build of yours Tulio, and as someone already said, these cars would usually be two tone paint but the single colour dark blue looks beautiful. The original stock wheels are the right choice for this Victoria and your handmade tyres are brilliant..... how do you make those?

Gorgeous build and so SHINY  .  I bet it would really pop with an outdoor sunny pic.

Thanks Mike. You was responsible for me building it, I just deviated from the rod theme a bit, LOL. 

Can't wait to see your done.

Thanks David. The tires are made in two parts. Regular white resin wide whitewalls, and rubber resin in black for the tires. I have kind of a tutorial on Flickr, but due to changes on Flickr they will delete most of my pictures in February.
