jdcar32 Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 (edited) This is a Tom Coolidge / Promolite resin curbside converted to full detail using the AMT '58 Edsel. The motor represents a rare Lincoln 430 option and would have made this lightwieght car a potent performer. The resin carves easily and the casting was nice so the engineering itself presented the challenge here. Both cars have the same wheelbase so the kit chassis works well. My dremel thinned panels for a better appearance. Paint is Tamiya rattle can Edited March 16, 2013 by jdcar32
Sixties Sam Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Great build! Great work on the doors and chassis and engine detail. Excellent model! Sam
Lunajammer Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Absolutely superb. The detail is magnificent and an interesting subject. I shudder to think of the hours in this.
Rod Posted March 15, 2013 Posted March 15, 2013 Incredible! One of the coolest builds I've seen of a '50's Ford. GREAT job on the engine and chassis. Will you be at the Milwaukee NNL?

I've often wondered how the hell I'd fly with several models in tow. Thanks to all for the positive comments.......... JD
