Just finished this Ford. The front and rear grills, interior tub, and roll bar, are from the Modified Stocker kit. The wheels and tires are from Bandit Resin. Decals are from Yesterdays.

Well done. I love seeing the '60's cars. Fireball was an incredible driver that hardly anyone remembers today. Outstanding replica!

Great build!

I think I saw that car at a Museum in Daytona. Where did you get the inspiration to build?

Just looking through a lot of big car kits, and through searches. I like the Impalas, and Galaxies in particular.

Nice... but why did you leave the chrome side trim in place and paint over it??? B)

This was a quick build. The body was painted. Besides minor sanding, and flash cleanup, my body work skills are not the best.

Removing the side trim from a '64 isn't as tough as it looks, give it a try on your next one.

Just take your time and it will come out just fine.

I'll bet you can handle it. B)

Beautiful build...Drew!!! I am still getting (adding) some tools to my hobby, to do more involved things.

Like I stated, the body was painted, and I did not want to mess it up, so I just left it alone.

Thanks Guys!!!

Really nice build! I remember Fireball from when he was driving a Poncho. He was my hero and it just killed me when I heard that he had died. I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news.

Drew, I remember seeing this model posted in Scale Auto a while back. Awesome job on it. Sure miss reading your column there.

Try removing the trim from a 63 Galaxie after that the 64 will seem easy! B)

Still a nice clean build of a great subject! One of the few drivers I have a autograph from. My uncle got it the morning before his last race.
