Helipilot16 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 The first picture is of the one I was copying. It is a 47 Ford built by Dick Graese in Loveland, Colorado in about 1959. It was the most important influence on me when I was a teenager. I am trying to get the fender skirts done in time for the show.
george 53 Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 (edited) WoW Marcus, THAT came out GREAT! Looks right on.As far as the skirts are concerned, Does the Revell 48 Ford come with skirts you can use? I just checked, an the old Testors/IMC kit has a set of skirts that look similar, can you use them? Let me know and I'll send em off to you asap! BTW, is that you in the loach?

I've built a set from scratch and am painting them as we speak. As for the loach; yes, thats a much skinnier version of me.
Helipilot16 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 Another picture: I just noticed I need to trim the foil on the rear of the trim.
carrucha Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 Nice looking custom. I look forward to seeing it this Saturday at the NNL West. carrucha
RodBurNeR Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 looks pretty slick! is that a '48 that you modified? more pics would be cool.
Helipilot16 Posted March 4, 2009 Author Posted March 4, 2009 looks pretty slick! is that a '48 that you modified? more pics would be cool. Yes. The only difference between a 47 and 48 is the side trim, so modifying it was no big deal. More pictures to follow
roadhawg Posted March 4, 2009 Posted March 4, 2009 That really is nice. I've just recently started to appreciate the beauty of customs like this. I think you hit this one 100%.
Helipilot16 Posted March 5, 2009 Author Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) More pictures: As you can tell, I managed to scratch build some passable fender skirts. The engine is a 56 Olds 324. Edited March 5, 2009 by Helipilot16
