Kit Basher Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 ]A buddy said I should build a car from my birth year, so I picked this. I tricked it out like I would if I could afford a 1:1. It's got a 5.0L EFI, dual exhausts, disc brakes, and the mags and new tires. The paint is Testors bottle paint a la Donn Yost (Thanks Donn!), Blue Metalflake and Steel. Hope you like it.
cobraman Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Cool. Like the colors and your wheel choice. Nice job !
bbowser Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Great looking car. I love the shoebox Fords. You did an excellent job.
W-409 Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Looks very good. The wheel & tire choice is excellent and I love the stance. Paint looks very good too. Not a fan of that type of engine in this kind of Classic Car, but otherwise it looks awesome.
Guest Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 That's a good looking little '53 Hugh! What happened with the chrome spears on the quarters? I have one of these in the stash that I plan to build a custom with. So, if you need/want them, let me know.
TooOld Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Really , really nice ! Great color combination and choice of wheels . The first photo is pretty cool too !
Kit Basher Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 That's a good looking little '53 Hugh! What happened with the chrome spears on the quarters? I have one of these in the stash that I plan to build a custom with. So, if you need/want them, let me know. I went back and forth several times about putting on those back spears. Ultimately, I like the car better without them. Thanks for all the kind words, guys!
oldscool Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Wow! Perfect combination of colors, drivetrain and wheels. Good worksmanship too.
slusher Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 Sharp model love the modern engine and period correct outside.
Sixties Sam Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Very nice 53! Great colors and wheels. Sam
jcbigpaw Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) That looks great. I love the first pic especially. I thought it was real at first. Great job. That paint is gorgeous. Edited September 17, 2012 by jcbigpaw
blunc Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Nice work. Should have changed out that 6volt battery for a 12volt...
Bartster Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Awesome look! l love the modern upgrades with the factory body lines. Nice color combo & tires & wheel combo. Classic AND classy! Bart.
Kit Basher Posted September 17, 2012 Author Posted September 17, 2012 Nice work. Should have changed out that 6volt battery for a 12volt... I agree. I don't have a parts stash yet, so I had to let it be. Thanks again to all, I'm glad you like it!
