geetee66 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 I have a soft spot for Ford Pops. My Dad had a stock version in the 50's. I've seen a few at custom car shows here in the UK and I've watched a few race at Nostalgia Drag meetings (I like the outlaws I've seen at Shakespeare County Raceway) Very nutty cars to do a fast quarter mile in. I've got the panel van version waiting to be built. I'll fit that with Hilborn velocity stacks and a Moon tank on the front. Anyway, this one is painted with rattle cans (I haven't graduated to airbrushing yet. It seems like alchemy to me and I'm scared of screwing it up. Plus, rattle cans seem to work for me) It's a stock Ford colour. The Focus ST is in either this orange or a lime green. My panel van will be lime green, as it's moulded in green metalflake styrene. I added a PE seatbelt and made some period correct (I hope) decals with my printer. The push bar is aluminium tube and I've wired the plugs on the engine. I also used coloured acetate for the windows. Anyway, enough jibber-jabber: thanks for looking
W-409 Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 ...Nostalgia Drag meetings... Why we don't have those here in Finland? Well, maybe we don't have enough Nostalgic Drag Cars... Really great looking Anglia Gasser! I like that paintjob really much, it looks like pray cans work nicely... It's really Period Corrcet with those tinted windows and other stuff. Really nice build, thanks for sharing.
oldscool Posted December 5, 2011 Posted December 5, 2011 One of the best builds of this kit that I have ever seen. gus
