Snake45 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 Sweet! You couldn't have picked a better car for inspiration. (I hope to do something very similar on a '56 someday.) Drive on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TransAmMike Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cobraman Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 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 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
