realgone58 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Anybody doing a full size '60 Ford 4 door hardtop? I want one of these bad, and everytime I find a promo for sale, they are too warped to bother with.
george 53 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Get a 61 ford Galaxie, and switch the roofs between them. It's NOt thay hard to do, an you'll get a Starliner sedan AND a Starliner two dr coupe! I've done it twice now.
cooltoys1 Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 See the Resin Realm. You will find what you need there. I wanted to do a model of my real ride. http://www.resinrealm.net/index.html
Ron Hamilton Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 You mean one of these? This is a second that I cleaned up. It's the only one I know of, and I am going to build it. It may be getting produced, but I have nothing to do with it.
realgone58 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Ron, yes,.that's it. I want a 4 door hardtop.......not a 4 door sedan. I guess if no one is doing one, I'll have to try to de-warp an old promo.
realgone58 Posted July 14, 2012 Author Posted July 14, 2012 Jay, Love your 1:1 and your model............looks awesome!
charlie8575 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Nice 1:1, and nice models. Alan- if you pick up one of those 4-door sedans, it's not too tough to remove the pillars and door frames, and will probably be a far sight easier than trying to de-warp 50-year-old acetate. Or, as there appears to be a chance a Town Victoria is coming, wait and see. I'd suspect it'll be through Resin Realm. I've bought from them before and they're great to deal with. Charlie Larkin
realgone58 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 The 4 door sedan and the 4 door hardtop use totally different rooflines. Could pick up a sedan and an old promo and graft the roof from the promo onto the sedan I guess. Another problem may be that the molds used for the sedans could be 1/24, as they were probably the old Hubley kits at one time. The AMT promo was 1/25. Hopefully Resin Realm will do the correct 4 door hardtop, like the promo was.
