1958 Edsel

[charlie8575]

Several years ago, I started this original 2000-ish issue Edsel and sidelined it when a paint issue arose. I just worked out the paint issue, and have begun working towards gettin' 'er done.

The colors are Snow White with Horizon Blue, paint supplied by Scale Finishes. There was a small amount of overspray that I got rid of with 3200-grit sanding pads, and one little spot that I'm going to hit with Novus polish.

The car, when done, will probably take on the appearance more of a nicely-preserved original car in modern times as opposed to a factory-fresh example. Contemporary Massachusetts antique plates will be used.

Time to get this one finished, Charlie!  Then you can bring it to the next meeting for the Show-n-Tell table.

It may be a midnight finish that night to have it on the show table for the 6th!

There's a fellow doing 4-doors, too. I plan to acquire one of those and build it, as well. I also have a Jimmy Flintsone Roundup somewhere. What can I say, I like weird stuff.
