Joker Posted May 21, 2012 Posted May 21, 2012 The true Alexander Bros. custom is a 55 and the kit is 56. I won the kit as a door prize at the recent M.A.M.A. NNL. It came with the optional custom pieces for the Victorian. First thing I did was scribe..scribe..scribe. (thanks Cruz) Opened the roof ,trunk and front grill. Added the front and rear pans.I got the diamond tuft buckets and center console from a fellow R.A.M.S. member (thanks Rick). The front buckets swivel and the rear are stationary. 36 Ford white walls and parts stash 5 spokes. This pic is from Rik Hoving Fotki site (thank Rik) lots of history pics. James aka Joker
Brendan30 Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 I love the way they look in primer, you can tell right now it's going to be a beautiful model!
1930fordpickup Posted May 22, 2012 Posted May 22, 2012 A 55 / 56 Ford how can you go wrong . Pretty cars with great styling.
Joker Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Thanks fellas.. Some interior work and trunk work. penciled in the pattern on the rear tray and broke out the #11 X-Acto added three diamonds to the dash ...just for giggles Not a nuts and bolts replica of "The Victorian by the Alexander Bros." but more of a tribute custom.

Joker Posted May 28, 2012 Author Posted May 28, 2012 Beautiful work so far ! You've got a winner there James . Thanks Bob..hope the paint won't give me any grief....Ha ha ha I had added louvers to the hood but they looked too proud and out of scale. Just leaving the peaked center and go from there.
