Paul Payne Posted September 11, 2021 Posted September 11, 2021 Those carbs on the Caddy look really good!
ModelcarJR Posted September 14, 2021 Author Posted September 14, 2021 Thanks, Paul! I appreciate your comment! Finished the chassis and started detailing the dash.I wanted to use narrow white walls but I only had two so I put them on the front. Not going to see much of the rear tires anyway. Not going to do much in the interior except the dash. My chrome pen crapped out on me so I just used some aluminum paint on the dash along with BMF. No two-tone interior this time. I was looking through my collection a bit and found a Ford in Root Beer with flames. I don't even remember building this one and can't even remember what kit or year this is. Thanks for looking!
slusher Posted September 15, 2021 Posted September 15, 2021 Dash looks awesome and your Ford is sharp, John..
David G. Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 A long, difficult journey with the paint but well worth it in the end. The engine, chassis and dash look great! David G.
Zippi Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 The dash and engine detail looks great. Those flames look pretty killer. Great old school look.
ModelcarJR Posted September 17, 2021 Author Posted September 17, 2021 Thanks, Carl, David and Bob! I appreciate your comments! This one is about finished. Interior is done so I wanted to test fit the body and everything looks good. I'm probably not going to add the flames as the paint looks pretty good. I wanted to replace the taillights in this kit as the small bullets in the large bevel just don't do it for me. So I found some bigger bullet taillights that don't really fit but I thought I could mount them from inside and they would look OK. Here's a few pics. Thanks for looking! ?
Bucky Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 Coming together very nicely! I like the taillights!
espo Posted September 17, 2021 Posted September 17, 2021 The new tail light lenses look perfect with the size of the housing. This is a Kustom so feel free to wonder away from the instructions.
ModelcarJR Posted September 18, 2021 Author Posted September 18, 2021 (edited) Thanks, Keith and David! I appreciate your comments! This one is done! Stock bumpers, grill, headlamps, big, long, fender skirts and Mexican Hat wheel covers. A mild custom look. Thanks for looking! Edited September 18, 2021 by ModelcarJR Copy to Under Glass
