avidinha Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 (edited) I built this using a Jimmy Flintstone body and parts from an AMT '58 Edsel and a Revell '57 Ford wagon. I lowered the suspension and used 4 rear wheels and tires from a Foose Caddy. My mom said her dad had a red and white one when she was a kid in Oregon, so I painted it to match and added some Oregon plates from my parts box.

Misha Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Great looking build Andrew! Your conversion is striking and the colour choice is bang on, and the Oregon plate is the finishing touch to your replica . Cheers Misha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted October 3, 2022 Share Posted October 3, 2022 Great looking wagon. Despite the bad jokes of the time, I always thought the Edsel was a good-looking styling. Nice color combination and a smooth paint finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plowboy Posted October 4, 2022 Share Posted October 4, 2022 Looks nice Andrew! It's always cool to see the different cars built. The Edsel is just something you don't see that often. The wheels and tires from the Eldorod suits it nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
