Exotics_Builder Posted October 14 Posted October 14 Finally finished this up. I just need to work a little more on the closure of the hood. It closes and slightly pops open. May need to add a magnet. We’ll see. Anyway, this is sort of a customized street machine. Some body mods done like shaved door handles and kit custom bumpers and grill. Here is what else I did: Customized the interior with Grommet Ring Front and Rear Set from Texas 3D customs. Cannibalized a spare AMT 57 Ford Fairlane dash with the Revell to get more detail and added air conditioning vents. Added a steering column with turn signal and gear selection. Added wood graining to the cargo area using Microscale decals. Added aftermarket inside door hardware. Wired and plumbed the engine and engine bay. Added a Fireball Modelworks FITech FI system to an AMT 427 engine replacing the Y block Ford with the kit. Had to modify the radiator hoses for the new engine and added a modern power brake unit. Added Hasegawa Clear Orange Finish to the rear side windows for tinting. Used AMT Parts Pack Gold Stripe tires with parts box Chrome Reverse wheels. Added valve stems to wheels. Did a two-tone paint with Tamiya Metallic Orange and Platinum Gold. Cleared with Tamiya TS-13 Clear. During the clearing process, I added some pin stripe decals. 16

Dragline Posted Friday at 09:17 PM Posted Friday at 09:17 PM Hoods seem an issue lately. For me as well as others. The orange windows and overall quality is excellent. 1 1

espo Posted 20 hours ago Posted 20 hours ago Beautiful paint finish and colors. Like the mild custom body work. The interior looks great with the exterior finishes. Big Block Ford power should add to the fun to drive. 1
