Butter 1 Posted May 1 Posted May 1 Inspiration: Car Model and Model Car Science from the 60's had an advertisement for Testors ( i think) paint showing a gloss black 64 Galaxie with a reflection of a finger on the roof. Accomplishments to date: Opened and hinged doors and hood. Added door jamb and under hood detail. Roughed in the interior components from 91 Tbird. Modified 60 Ford Starliner floor boards and frame to fit. Roughed in dashboard fitment. Wheels and tires are Pegasus. Things to do: Build 4 link rear suspension, fabricate all the linkage for accurate posable steering. Figure out a motor to use. (suggestions are welcome.) I think it will be Ford Royal Blue metallic with a little finger mail polish pearl. The interior will be light blue I think. 7

catpack68 Posted May 2 Posted May 2 (edited) Nice work so far! Maybe a 427 SOHC Cammer? Edited May 2 by catpack68
dino246gt Posted May 2 Posted May 2 Wow, I'm loving this project! Coyote would be great! I DID put a 3D 351 Widnsor in a '64 Merc custom project though.
espo Posted May 2 Posted May 2 since you already used the frame from the '60 Starliner do you have the engine as well? Really nice-looking FE big block if that is a consideration for power.
