1958 Edsel Pacer

[Lovefordgalaxie]

This one is a AMT '58 Edsel Pacer painted in the factory colors of Frost White and Horizon Blue.

I wanted something different from the traditional red, black, red and black, or red and white combos.

Even tough I love the red and black two tone combination, everybody would think the model is one of that AMT prapainted Edsel kits.

I built two Edsels at the same time, one as it was when new, thats this one, and other to represent a car left in a field for some (long) time.

A short time after this ona was done, I was given another Edsel kit, and I also built it, but this time as an early 60's custom.

Anyway, here goes the Blue/white factory stock Edsel:

Any imput is welcome!!

Thanks for looking.

Around here lately, that seems pretty likely. In any case, your blue/white version is looking fantastic. I love it. Well done. Now I wanna see the rest. And that Fairlane too!

[cobraman]

That is one sharp ride !

Beautiful Edsel and location! Look like a real car on a parkinglot. Well Done, like it!

I'll have to take a fewshots of the custom Edsel, as I just noticed I have none on my hard drive.

Here goes the "rust bucket" Edsel, that's a little sad looking but runs fine, after all, it's a Ford product

I HAVE to post here!!

I Like these 2 EDSEL's!

I have a few of this New tool Pacer in the works.

I have a "Wheat's Nostalgia" resin too, and a couple original 59 & 60's to restore!

[bondo bill]

very nice

[CorvairJim]

It looks like the beautifully restored car at the top of the page might have once been the dilapidated rust bucket posted below it! Two great models.

Nice Build(s). Makes me want to dig one out and start it!

[GeeBee]

Very nice build, love the colour combo', I've been thinking of adding one of these to my stash ... seeing it built up has made my mind up !

Nice build... The parking lot is almost as nice as the model! Now I know what a finished one looks like.

and mine IS a pre-painted kit and I can't finish it....

[Lovefordgalaxie]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's funny...I just pulled mine out to get started on!!! Nice color combo!!

Time to build it!! I just recomend you get aftermarket tires for it, if you are going to buildit stock, because the BFGs that come with the kit are not the best. In my case, I took the stock tires from a Revell '55 Chevy kit.

WOW, Great looking Edsels, both of them! I've been always a fan of Edsels, I can't understand how some people find these ugly or don't like these because of some other reason. I think these are much cooler than '58 Fords, for example (and they are nice too).

Your builds look very cool, that Factory Stock Edsel is great, and it looks like real car on the pictures. Paintjob is very smooth and shiny and detailing is great. How about the quality of that AMT kit?

That rusty Edsel looks very good too. Weathering looks very realistic and you've nailed the old look of that car.

Thanks John!!

Yours is looking nice, the prepaint kit is good, I built one, and with some foil it really pops.

The major flaw I see with the prepaints, is that you almost have to be lucky on buying one, as the paint's quality is not even. Some models look great, and some have big noticeable paint flaws. Mine came with a big dust particle on the roof, and I almost buffed the apint trough to remove it.

Thanks Niko!!

The kit quality is good, with no fit problems, almost any flash, and great detail, but, and that's a really big but, if you compare it with the actual car, you will notice the front bumpers are too wide (in the vertical), the engine is a little too small, the rear end is too thin, and the body looks sectioned between the front and rear wheel wels. This is only noticeable if you compare the model with the actual car, and it still represents the car very well.

Túlio,again you have totally amazed me with your work!!!,that black '57 looks great also!!!

Thanks a lot Mike!!

[Lovefordgalaxie]

I wish I weren't so lazy on adding extra detail. It's a pain to add spark plug wires and fuel lines, because once the parts are painted, I kind of get an urge to see how the finished thing will look like...

Your Edsels are Edselicious. I like them.
