Started this a couple days ago . Not much to show yet . Going for the look of a photo I found but not trying to do a replica of it .

Sweet! You couldn't have picked a better car for inspiration. (I hope to do something very similar on a '56 someday.) Drive on!

Gotta say, that is a pretty cool model.  So many (me definately  included) are stuck on Tri-5 Chevys but the '57 Fords aren't bad!!

[cobraman]

Thanks a lot guys. And thanks Stuart for the pics and article.

Sweet

Making some progress . Probably should have used the back seat delete but I did not . Body primed and may paint tomorrow . 

[stinkybritches]

Looking good.

[cobraman]

Thanks Rob. I plan on painting the body today. I do not have a good history of painting black bodies. I don't think I have tried in the last 20 years. I will try and break the curse today. Good luck to me !

Knock that black paint job dead, Ray!  Lookin' pretty so far...

 

[cobraman]

Thank you Scott. if it turns out it will be the first black paint job I will be happy with.

[futurattraction]

Will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you... LOL

[cobraman]

Thanks

[cobraman]

Body painted. Not too bad but no clear yet. I am thinking I may add some decals on the side ????

[cobraman]

Did add side decals and did a mock up . Clear tomorrow ??

[Ralph Henderson]

nice work!!

[futurattraction]

Paint turned out very nice, Ray.  Guess I'll uncross my toes now...

[cobraman]

Thanks guys.  Scott , don't uncross anything yet I still have to do the clear coat !

[crazyjim]

Gonna be a cool build.

[cobraman]

Thank you Jim. Did the clear today. Not too bad for me and black paint. Could be better but could be worse so I call it a win !?

[cobraman]

Getting ready for final assembly . Still need to do side trim . Install side windows and grill and bumpers . 

[majel]

I would call that a win too Ray, coming along very nicely!  Great job.

[cobraman]

Thanks much Jim.
