Sounds like a plan, Charles! I thought the motor came out quite well. Here is the engine/chassis test fitted to the body. 3

Joe Lange Posted January 23, 2023 Author Posted January 23, 2023 Moving along, slowly but surely! Almost ready for paint. 4
customline Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 I LOVE IT ! It is so off the wall and weird that it's beautiful ?! I was so inspired by this build that, at one point, I was on the edge of grabbing one of these body's from JF. Long story short I ended up with the '53 Ford Country Squire body ( I've got 2 donors sitting on the shelf). Let's get this puppy painted! Very cool, Joe ?
BERT100 Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 What a great model. Your hard work is paying big dividends.

Jimmy Flintstone makes some nice, (and a little strange), stuff. And his casting quality is great. Don't forget to post some WIP pics when you start the '53 Ford. 1
Joe Lange Posted March 8, 2023 Author Posted March 8, 2023 After a few stops and delays the little beast is finished! Although there were a few posts and articles on the internet regarding '51 Nash Rambler Station Wagons, there was next to nothing on their Sedan Delivery. Only found one or two black and white advertising/brochure pictures. Tried to keep it as 'stock' as possible except under the hood. I think the 225 Dodge 'slant six' looks very comfortable in there! Was tempted to put 'Speedy Delivery!' on the front fenders but...... The paint is 'Behr Premium' Gloss, 'Roasted Corn'. Went on smooth and polished up very nicely once it dried. The drying time is just as long as Rust-oleum spray. I let it dry for 2 full weeks before polishing. Bumper chrome is 'Spaz Stix' spray, and trim is BMF. Thanks for looking and hope you enjoy it! 5
customline Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) JOE! It's PERFECT!! I absolutely LOVE IT!! The color, the decals, the concept - you nailed it! The engine bay detailing looks like 1:1 ! It was worth the wait. I'm glad I checked in early today and became the first to congratulate you on this extremely interesting build. ? ? Edited March 8, 2023 by customline
rickcaps55 Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 WOW ! that is a awesome build i have been watching this one it really came out great that engine and bay looks perfect.
dino246gt Posted March 9, 2023 Posted March 9, 2023 Wow, that looks so cool, great job, lots of "modelling" involved, that's great!
