StevenGuthmiller Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Hi guys! It happened to be a beautiful day in the neighborhood and I realized that I still needed to get a few photos of a couple of builds in natural light. This is of course my latest '67 Ford Galaxie R-Code build that I posted some time back. They always seem to look a little better in the sun shine! Thanks guys! Steve
Geno Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 That's not a 1:1????? Great job Steve, she's gorgeous.

gman Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Those pics do your work on this one justice. That is a great build.
Peter Lombardo Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Sure looks better outside, but wow, it is stunning. I remember that color on that car.... looks great.
Ramfins59 Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Absolutely fantastic looking car Steven. Reminds me of our first car, a '67 Galaxie 4 door in almost the same colors. I love it.
peekay Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Outstanding as always Steve and the outside shots really do it justice. The detailing on those wheels is amazing.
my80malibu Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Great Job, a Question about the color's. was that exterior green available on a 70 Galaxie, and what is the interior color?
Classicgas Posted July 23, 2019 Posted July 23, 2019 Wow. Just wow. Lower some of this angles and that would be very hard to tell from real.

The color on this build is a correct color for 1967 called "Lime Gold". As you can see from this chip chart, Lime Gold was offered as a spring color for the Maverick in 1969, but it doesn't appear to have been available on the rest of the Fords in 1970, although "Medium Lime" appears to be very close. By the way, I have to laugh at some of the names that they used for the colors in 1970. Much like Mopar at the time, but I don't believe that I have ever heard most of these. As far as interior color, I used a custom mix of gold acrylic with a tiny bit of green added to try to replicate "Light Ivy Gold" on the interior color chip sheet. The dash and accents were shot from an old dark green Duplicolor rattle can which resembles "Dark Ivy Gold" or "Medium Green" on the sheet. Steve Edited July 24, 2019 by StevenGuthmiller

I look back on every build that I do, including this one, and wish that I would have done a better job on certain aspects. Steve
