1961 Ford mild custom now finished. 6 16-12

[cobraman]

Simple car to build as this is a cubside type of kit. No engine and chassis has everything molded into one unit. I think I finished this in about 4 days. I haven't done a car that quick in many, many years. Build pretty much stock with just a couple of mods. I molded in the front and rear pans and drilled out and sank some plastic tube in to make the 2 sunkem antenna's. Paint is black lacquer with HOK Marbilizer to put as one guy called a "skunk stripe" down the center of the car. it was followed by 3 coats of clear and a polish of Novus # 2 and then a wipe down with Novus # 1. Comments both good and bad are always welcome. Thanks for looking.

There's something about that stripe that really makes this model stand out. The colors, the wheels, very nice. Congrats.

NICE!!! I have this sitting on the shelf in the garage, you know what's bad, I did not even realize it was a curbside kit! Can't wait to start on it now!!!!

Gotta get one of these kits! Love the "skunk stipe". Makes it unique. Bart.

Very nice build! The stripe is cool, really sets it off! One small suggestion: if it were mine, I might add a pair of baby moon hubcaps on the front wheels.

Thats funny, I thought about baby moons also but I didn't have any.
