'50 Ford Lead Sled

[Lyle Willits]

AMT '50 Ford with resin Carson top from Reps & Mins. DeSoto grille from Revell '49 Merc kit. Tires and caps also from Revell Merc kit with a small bullet added to each wheel cover.

Tailights frenched in. Scratchbuilt side trim mimics '58 Ford trim. Gold candy-wrapping foil paper applied with white glue.

Paint is Tamiya plum crazy metallic and lots of polished clear. Frenched headlights are the King Bees from a Revell '32 ford kit.

Tuck & roll made with half-rounds and piping is very thin plastic rod painted Polly Scale German Mauve (light purple).

Used the kit flathead with some detail added. Scratchbuilt the steering box and column.

This is what it may have looked like in a 1962 Car Craft magazine.

Looks dynamite! Another knockout, as usual. I really dig the b/w pic at the end.

A very tastefully done custom! The flathead looks great, interior is beautiful, and the side trim puts this build over the top! Great job!

This is perfect period custom. The side trim is true inspiration!

That is a beauty Lyle!!! I really like the gold candy foil idea, as BMF's gold foil is very finicky, and the gold rubs off so easy.
