Peter Lombardo Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 This is my just finished (well, almost, needs a few little details like a license plate and the inner door latches) 1953 Ford Victoria Custom Coupe. This is the Lindberg hardtop coupe kit. It has a mild roof chop and completely new side moldings like a 1954 version. The single side molding makes the car look longer, I think. The doors were opened and hinged. The vehicle was lowered and a dual exhaust with twin tips was added. The seats and inner door panels are covered with paint and real cloth for the center inserts. Car is painted in Mopar Satin While Pearl with a custom mix Cinnamon Pearl roof and interior trim. The Cinnamon is a combination of a few Jacquard Pearl pigment powders mixed with clear lacquer topped with Future.
Erik Smith Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 Awesome looking custom. Nice work on, well, pretty much everything. I like the paint color combo.
Dr. Cranky Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 It's another beauty, Peter . . . thank you for sharing it.
Ramfins59 Posted February 18, 2012 Posted February 18, 2012 reat job Peter. I love the colors. How did you make the chrome spears at the front of the rear fender blisters...?? Are they plastic covered in BMF..?
Peter Lombardo Posted February 18, 2012 Author Posted February 18, 2012 reat job Peter. I love the colors. How did you make the chrome spears at the front of the rear fender blisters...?? Are they plastic covered in BMF..? Thanks...yes, I stripped off and filled in where necessary the original moldings, then made a new one from strip styrene. I measured the length, and then sanded the ends to a soft point. Once applied, the top half of the molding got a second styrene strip, much thinner glued on and all was then sanded again to round the edges. Once completed, it was covered with BMF.
W-409 Posted February 19, 2012 Posted February 19, 2012 This turned out very nice Custom. I like the color combo, and paintjob looks very good too. Great job on the interior also.
Joker Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 That's what I call a "mild Kustom" Gorgeous trim work..love the stance

jaymcminn Posted March 4, 2012 Posted March 4, 2012 Great work- very subtle touches that add up to a fantastic mild custom.
