'63 Fairlane Sports Coupe

[Plowboy]

Just finished this one up. Pretty happy with how it turned out. My only disappointments are the stance and my trunk lid won't hold itself up like it did in ALL of the mockups. It's a bash of an original '63 promo and a Revell T-Bolt. The T-Bolt supplied the chassis, core support, engine and floor pan. The rest came from the promo. Other kit parts used were the valve covers from a Revell Torino Talladega, wheels and front tires from a Super Clean Olds Pro Stock and the rear tires from an unknown kit. Also a few scratch built pieces. Paint is Tamiya Gun Metal and clear on the body, Dupli Color Bright Red for the engine and interior.

Great looking 63. I like everything you did to it. Sharp!

Nice and well done!

[RancheroSteve]

Wow - just outstanding! Stance looks fine to me; very realistic overall.

[bbowser]

That is very cool!  Great paint work, love the underhood details, not over done.

[Classicgas]

Nice.

Great looking model Roger.

[fivesuns]

impressive!

I enjoyed watching all the effort you put into this build. The finished model looks great and I like how you left the "260" emblems on the front fenders. Keep them guessing out there at the stop light. 

[Slick Shifter]

WOW!

That is Faultless!

WOW X 2 !

Beautiful build! I had 2 63 Fairlanes years ago. Both were two door posts. One of them had the red trim and red interior like your build. I wish that I would have kept at least one of them. I really like this one! Excellent work!!

[charger74]

It looks very good

[grodudulle77]

Wow, very nice work, i like colors and details, it’s awesome !!???

[SoDak1]

Lots of great detail under the hood there. Congrats on this beautiful build. I think you could find it in you to forgive the stance and trunk lid ?

[StevenGuthmiller]

You knocked it out of the park Roger!

Sweet little Fairlane! That's a great color!

Turned out great Roger.

[Phildaupho]

Very nice model. I always considered the first generation  Fairlanes the best looking. 

[Geno]

Roger, what a Grand Slam home run. I love this build. You rocked it man.

[larman]

Great job! Love everything about it!!

It's a beauty, with impeccable craftsmanship. I had 63 Tudor post back in the day. A copper bronze color. I still miss that car.
