53 Ford

[The Modeling Hermit]

This is a 53 Ford that I built awhile back. A post on a different section of the forum jarred my memory of it. This was a fun kit to build, except for the fender skirts. No matter what side of the car I placed them on, they look like they're backwards. I was smart in that I glued them on with a water based glue. That way I can redo them some time in the future. I added some spinners from the parts box to the hubcaps. This was actually built to reflect a 54 Ford that I had back in the early seventies. They were really a fun car to drive. I loved the sound of the Y block engine through the duals.

Sure is pretty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice colors and detail.. The fender skirts really make those cars although they are really such a pretty car with or without the skirts. Sweet build for sure!!!!!!

Very nice! I also built this kit; (it's in my gallery,) as I also had a '54 Ford that I bought in '77. I painted mine in the same colors as my 1:1, too.
