Charger Funny Car Posted July 27 Posted July 27 I just finished this one for a dear friend of mine. I asked him if he could build a car for my collection and his reply was only if you build one for mine! We got to pick what car we had to build for each other and this was his pick. This build was way out of my wheel house which is probably why he picked it. I hope he loves it because you all get to see it before he does! 20
VanGoGo Posted July 27 Posted July 27 (edited) Looks great! I'm mostly a Chevy guy but the '60 Ford Starliner is a beautiful car, I prefer it over the BelAirs of that period. The sculpted body lines, the fastback styling and thin roof pillars, horizontal fins, I think they should have carried those styling cues for several more years, your friend will be stoked!

satterwhite78 Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Lucky friend! Beautiful all over. One of Fords best looking rooflines, wish it came on the AMT 61 Ford Galaxie...

satterwhite78 Posted July 27 Posted July 27 A friend of mine grafted the roofline of the AMT 60 Starliner to a 61 Galaxie. Starting at the top of the front roof behind the top window trim, cut at the bottom of the C pillar trim to and along to the bottom rear window trim, then curve to the trunk lines as a one piece cut/ graft. His version looked like a seamless transplant and created a a big time envy on my part! Big bucks for a long shot Unicorn but just knowing you got something 99.9% of our fellow modelers don't have would make me right giddy.... 1
TarheelRick Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Beautiful Starliner, really like that color. There was a '61 Starliner annual kit, and the '60 Starliner top works quite well on the '61 Galaxie. 1
Kah puts Posted July 27 Posted July 27 You can be my friend 🤪 but seriously you’ve done a great job with this one 👍
Dragline Posted July 28 Posted July 28 He is gonna be Stoked! I would for sure. Well played Sir, well played indeed.
XYHARRY Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Your Starliner looks great, your friend should be happy with that. I like what you did with the headlights, and the stance is perfect. Well done Scott. By the way, what has your friend built for you?
espo Posted July 28 Posted July 28 Beautiful paint finish and like the color. Clean body trim. Like how you detailed the chassis and engine. I remember when we used to use white VHT paint on our exhaust manifolds. This is a great basic kit and also built one based on a neighbor's car back when I was in high school.
