Ford Granada Stock Car WIP

[bobss396]

This is a fill in project. Body is from WFC Motorsports on Etsy. I opened the hood up. Again the downside is the molded in bumpers. The body was extremely clean.

AMT Maxwell House kit gave up the chassis. Cage is also an WFC item, also carried by Ron Coon. I may have to massage the front wheel wells once I complete the chassis. That was painted with Tamiya TS-4 gray.

Wheels and tires are from Ron Coon. Tire decals from Mike's Decals which are excellent.

I use black primer, then paint the sidewalls with Tamiya TS-14 black, then apply the decals. Go over those with Mr. Surfacer matte clear.

Most details are painted. The radiator and triple master are WFC items. Dash is from Jayes Model Car Garage. Shifter is from him or Ron Coon, both are quite good.

I still have to make a windshield frame and "glass".

I really like this project!  A Granada race car is pretty rare......are you building someone or freelance??

In 1978 I bought a new Ford Fairmont from Young Ford in Charlotte, NC.  My salesman was Ron Granna a retired NASCAR drive.....who by chance drove a Granada in Sportsman class.....what is now Xfinity. 

Thanks

I'm pulling this from a dark place. I still have to pick paint and decals.

The fuel cell is for my Corvette modified. I lost it a couple of weeks ago and used something else. It got mixed in with the Granola.
