cobraman Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 Resin parts mixed with plastic kit parts . Not sure who made the resin parts but they were pretty nice . Mixed with several parts from the AMT 60 Ford kit . Gave me some figment issues but kind of happy with the results . Is a sort of replica of the first car I owned but mine was a 4 door . There are other differences but the color and wheels and tires are correct as is the interior color . Close enough for me . Not my best work but I guess it could have been worse . I need to find the oil filler neck that is hiding at the moment . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afx Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Interesting color combination Ray, I like it. I'm sure it looked even better on your 1:1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted January 1, 2020 Author Share Posted January 1, 2020 Thanks guys. I wish I could have found one of the 4 door resin bodies that were available a few years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichCostello Posted January 1, 2020 Share Posted January 1, 2020 Nice, my 1st car was a 63 Ford with that square roof. I'd like to build one, but I don't know where I'd find the body to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 Nice looking Galaxie Ray! To me, there's nothing cooler than a model built like an actual car that was once owned or remembered. It gives them more "soul" IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brutalform Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 Came out fantastic Ray. After the little problem with the seat, it was worth it. I like how you removed the paint from the valve cover lettering. I loose many of those filters myself. By the time you sand the mold lines off it, and get the cap to look right, I just make my own anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike999 Posted January 11, 2020 Share Posted January 11, 2020 That looks great and I see plenty of stealable ideas! Brings back memories, I spent much of my childhood in a '62 Galaxie 500. Also a 4-door, Wimbledon White with that spiffy red-and-white interior that looked sort of like tuck-and-roll. My best friend's family had the same car in tan. Like yourself, I've been trying to find a resin 4-door body for years. I have a resin 2-door hardtop and occasionally think about converting it.

cobraman Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Thank you so much guys. There was a resin 4 door available at one time but after searching for one for a long time I settled on this 2 door version. Thought about converting it to a 4 door but I knew I would just make a mess of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
