A super quick build. I wasn’t really planning to use this as the tow car in the Cal Drag Combo and didn’t think I’d build it but here it is. The paint is Tamiya TS-25 pink and Testors Electric Pink Lacquer on the roof. Interior is Createx Wicked Pearl White with fuchsia carpet, chrome and aluminum details, dash and steering wheel are the same as the roof. I drilled new holes higher up in the chassis to lower the car. Replaced the kit wheels with Pegasus Sovereign’s. I “detail” painted the chassis pan. The engine color is Createx Pearl Magenta. I did the chrome trim with Molotow Liquid Chrome on a brush, my hand was pretty shaky most of the time but I’m fine with it. I just want to fill space on the shelf in my living room so I can justify buying a new cabinet with doors that’s larger (and maybe not let it get so dusty)

Thanks for looking.

Beautiful build! I like the lowrider vibe and the wheel choice. I have a few of these and I will be doing a similar build with one.

Fantastic job on my favorite year of Galaxie, tied with the '61 Starliner. I have had great luck masking side trim with Tamiya tape, burnished down well, and Molotow straight out of the pen. Love the color combo, and the Pegasus wheels were the right choice.

Thanks for the advice, Mike. I’ll definitely try masking on the next one. 
 

And thanks for the feedback everyone, I’m glad so many people enjoy this one!
