TooOld Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 I thought I'd resurrect this thread with photos of some older builds . If you're new here spend some time and take a look back at all the cool stuff being built !
TooOld Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 And here's a couple that are currently on my bench .
Ford guy Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Sweet '60 El Camino Bob. Scratch built? I love the Ranchero too, very cool. Is it from Detroit Resin Automotive Group? And that Corvette, wildly cool! Great in-progress builds.
jsc Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 This one is still waiting... This is awesome! Who makes the body? Did you ever finish this one?
Tom Geiger Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Just some of the things I still have in primer... Edited October 30, 2013 by Tom Geiger
59 Impala Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) Here's a 53 Ford that I'm working on. It's still in primer. Edited October 30, 2013 by 59 Impala

And that Corvette, wildly cool! Great in-progress builds. Yes and yes . They are both finished now and are in the Trucks Under Glass section . Here's a 53 Ford that I'm working on. It's still in primer. Dan Really nice old Ford and really smooooooooth !
Repstock Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 (edited) This is awesome! Who makes the body? Did you ever finish this one? That's my first car. I drove it as a Junior in high school. It was replaced by a '69 LeMans. The body is not resin, and the roof is resin, from Tom Coolidge. The car was off white with a bronze/copper interior. Finally, no, it is no further along today than it appears in the picture. Thanks for the compliment! Edited October 29, 2013 by Repstock

Mike Kucaba Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 Here's one of my (too) many on hold projects. Just cleaned up and old built-up and awaiting inspiration...
Mike Kucaba Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 And here is an F&F resin piece that was offered as the Royal Emperor. I did some work with the headlites and taillites , rear wheelwells etc. It's stalled as I can't seem to get the front bumper/grille located positively .
Dinky Posted October 29, 2013 Posted October 29, 2013 My 59 El Camino, plan is to make it similar to my brothers car. i should start with this one when my current project is ready but I might put it on the side because im little scared to use BMF

59 Impala Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Yes and yes . They are both finished now and are in the Trucks Under Glass section . Really nice old Ford and really smooooooooth ! Thanks for the kind words. I'm having some trouble with the front end. I used a Camaro sub frame and it's to wide for the Ford so I have to modify some of the parts to get it to work. I'm in the process now of trying to narrow the front end pieces. Dan

Bernard Kron Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) How oh how did I ever miss this a year ago when it started???? Incredible stuff on here, pages and pages of it - too many great builds to comment on! First off, running your car in primer on its way to a completed paint job is a venerable tradition in the kustom world. Here is a pic of the recently restored Jack Stewart '41 Ford as it looked in iconic white primer, just for a little "flavor": For good or bad, most of my projects don't stay in primer for very long unless they are pretty much dead in the water. Here are some oldies I really need to get back to... '53 Studebaker streamliner - the "Studeliner" It will have Potvin Hemi power: Ardun powered Competition Roadster And a couple of '49 Fords, a custom (in blue suede) and a road racer (in white primer).

BMF is easy to learn and you'll wish you tried it years ago !

Car Crazy 81 Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 Heres a couple of builds i have in primer.
Dinky Posted October 30, 2013 Posted October 30, 2013 You've gotta do this one ! BMF is easy to learn and you'll wish you tried it years ago ! Yeah I might do that Thanks!
TooOld Posted October 31, 2013 Posted October 31, 2013 Yeah I might do that Thanks! Just remember , when you apply BMF and don't like how it looks it can be removed without damaging the paint . Then you try again until you like it !

Then you try again until you like it ! Thanks Bob, I got the Camino in primer for few months and the BMF is next to it It's because of the lack of experience that im moving this one away ever time but with this in mind it might become the next project.
