1957 Ford Fairlane

[JTRACING]

haven’t made a 50's car in a long time, so I decided to pick up this AMT kit.

heres the paint scheme i came up with,

its Krylon "buttercream" and white

the first pic shows the actual color pretty close.

also I had to make new "ridges" on the tops of the front fenders, it seems one side of the fender was higher then the other. i think they turned out pretty good

Wow that is cool! I love the color. Very clean. I am in awe over you BM skills. I think I have seen some of your work before, but the BM on the door, where it wraps around the edge of the door, amazing. Thanks for the pics. I'll be looking for updates.

Your work is fantastic! good choice of this kit, its one of the best of the 50s cars. I wish more kits were like this. and your doing a superb job with it.

Beautiful build so far. The yellow and the good work on the foil look great.

Iwant to build a 57 and 56 converts. Both are great kits.

I want to use the stock rims in the kit, but they are not very good, they have some molding problems on the edges, im gonna try and fix it, if they dont turn out I'm gonna put some steelies on it 8)

Wow! Your building style kicks *^&. The paint and foil work (especially the foil) are nothing short of jaw-dropping.
