rmvw guy Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Still looking for images of two tone paint schemes. Okay the Fairlane series is different. Edited February 10, 2013 by rmvw guy
slusher Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Some really nice work Ron, real good finish and colors....
rmvw guy Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I wish I could see the back of the red one but, I have a feeling it would look just like the Red and white #22 stock car above. I will repaint. Edited February 10, 2013 by rmvw guy

Ramfins59 Posted February 10, 2013 Posted February 10, 2013 Ron your build looks great. I like the two tone and your interior work is really good.
rmvw guy Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 Ron your build looks great. I like the two tone and your interior work is really good. Thanks Richard, I appreciate that, it means a lot.
rmvw guy Posted February 10, 2013 Author Posted February 10, 2013 looking nice.. engine looks sweet. Thanks Andre, how's yours coming along, haven't seen you on here in a while? You are one who helped me get mine started. I might have been finished by now if I would quit baking up to do things twice. Thanks for the comments.
rmvw guy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Local hobby store still has no BMF. Took a trip to Hobbytown USA in Indy over week end and no BMF there neither, is this stuff getting hard to come by? I corrected the two-tone this morning under the trunk lid and a little strip under the back window. ( Thanks Brett for the tip.) I want some BMF before I give up on that idea. I really like the way this one is turning out so far. Thanks for looking. Let me know what you think good or bad.
crazyjim Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Why not just place an order with Ricki over at Scale Dreams?
rmvw guy Posted February 11, 2013 Author Posted February 11, 2013 Why not just place an order with Ricki over at Scale Dreams? Thanks Jim, I might give that a try in a couple of days if local hobby store doesn't come through. He was at $6.95 a package which I don't think is too bad plus I'm hoping he will let me see if there is any wrinkles in it before I buy it.
Scalper Posted February 11, 2013 Posted February 11, 2013 Thanks Andre, how's yours coming along, haven't seen you on here in a while? You are one who helped me get mine started. I might have been finished by now if I would quit baking up to do things twice. Thanks for the comments. Mine is almost done.. fixed the pipes. tried to spray my hood again. but messed the one up again. SO I have to wait then sand it down again. I will post some pics tonight.
rmvw guy Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Why not just place an order with Ricki over at Scale Dreams? Thanks Jim, I submitted an order today. They have some other neat stuff also I ordered. I finally gave up on LHS, no wonder so many of them are going out of business. I'm a patient man but, I want to get on with my project. Thanks again. Finished up interior last night, finally found my lost exhaust tip which was still in the bag. These things are so small and hard for these old eyes to see. It looks like the BMF will be the last finishing touch.
TooOld Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 I like the way it's turning out too ! Very nice . Scale Dreams has great service , you should have the BMF this weekend !
rmvw guy Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 Thanks Bob, I just hope I can get the BMF on without any major problems. My history is not good with this stuff but, with tips from the forum I am going to give it another try. Wish me luck, I will post pictures soon.
drifterdon Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Looking really good Ron. I'm about to start on mine and am following along with all these 57 Ford builds to see where any issues may be. Your's is looking super sharp in the black/white paint. Don
Duntov Posted February 13, 2013 Posted February 13, 2013 Very nice.... making good progress....keep it going!!!
rmvw guy Posted February 15, 2013 Author Posted February 15, 2013 Getting ready to finish this one up, just waiting on foil, hopefully it will be here tomorrow. I still haven't opened up the bag of chrome yet and a few more decals to apply. Now is not the time to get in a hurry I keep telling myself. Thanks for looking and all the encouragement. A few more pictures.
rmvw guy Posted February 16, 2013 Author Posted February 16, 2013 (edited) Thanks for all the positive feedback. My order from Scale Dreams arrived today after only three days and in perfect condition, which is surprising considering my mail lady usually folds every thing in half to fit in the mailbox easier. The Bare Metal Foil is perfect so far thanks to excellent service from Scale Dreams. My days of visiting the local hobby shop may be over with gasoline at $3.78 a gallon and a 20 mile round trip. Total shipping on my order was $3.45. I already made three trips to LHS for my BMF that never came, and the owner has been in Washington D.C. at a hobby show all week. For some reason I have little spots of super glue all over my fingers so, I may hold off until that comes off before attempting the BMF. This gives me plenty of time to read the instructions over and over. Pictures coming soon! Edited February 16, 2013 by rmvw guy
rmvw guy Posted February 17, 2013 Author Posted February 17, 2013 Told ya Rick is good. You did!!!! Thanks Jim, really, really appreciate it!
Ramfins59 Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 That Ford is looking great Ron. You're right... slow and steady and patience, not rushing, gets the job done right. A suggestion...... you may want to brush some dullcoat on those seat decals to knock down the shine a bit.
vintagedragfan Posted February 17, 2013 Posted February 17, 2013 that is gonna be a sweet lookin ol Ford Ron, nice work
