Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Just started this one. Finished yesterday a replica of my solid black '56 Ford, and I'm in the 1956 theme I guess. I have a doubt about the color. Wanted to do something Christine like, with a white roof, and red body. Went to my Ford books, and this color combo was not available on Fairlanes... Fairlanes could be single tone, and Style Tone two tone, but not the simple two tone. Soooo I'm thinking on a Meadowmist Green and Colonial white car. Not decided on color yet. Started the build by deepening the shoot line on the trunk, ans adding the separation lines on the cowl, and lower front fenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I say, if you want a red and white car, build a red and white car! Do it YOUR way. Let's say you were a young man around the year 1971, and you bought a used '56 Ford that needed a repaint. Wouldn't you have had it painted red and white?! Model THAT car. Maybe you'd even add a few performance goodies under the hood, or some after-market wheels...😉 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to research the car and obey what the factory would do or not. I want to build a replica of a car on the dealer showroom. But wait, I already have a kit to build a pretty fast hot rod from. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zippi Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 That 56 Ford is going to look nice. Just finished a 53 Ford a few weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
