50 Ford Conv. Mild Custom

[speedy5963]

What's good everyone, been a minute since I've been on the boards.  Had a few weeks off from work and pulled out some old projects, just had that itch to get going on some builds, pops and my long time buddy Chris have been on me to get back on some builds.  Was surfing the boards and saw a thread on a 50 Ford so I posted some pics, thought I mine as well share here too.  This was build some time back, probably around 1997-1999 time frame, my pops and I helped my sister build this when she was involved in building.  Basically box stock, pulled the sombrero caps are either from an old original AMT kit or they are some machined aluminum ones we picked up, its lowered a little, interior is flocked and painted with the pearl pink base the the car is sprayed in.  Body was cleaned up good and covered with HOK Pink Pearl, the carson top was sprayed with some flat white.  Hope you guys enjoy the pics and hopefully I'll get some pics of my current (old projects) I'm trying to get back on and keep building.  I"m also working with my daughter on a few builds as she enjoys the hobby and being around the 1:1 scale cars!
