1966 Ford Fairlane

[PappyD340]

OK guys and gals, here's my 66 fairlane in all it's glory, I hope you all enjoy viewing as much as I enjoyed building it!!

I have included a pic of the detailed rear end before assembly cause you just can't see it well under the car and a couple interior pics before assembly. I scratch built a few items and they are side mirrors, rear view mirror, battery relay selinoid, steering box, dip stick and tube, antenna, door handles.

Shock towers are from Scott at Futurattraction, all other detail items are from Detail Master and ProTech.

Seatbelt material is a decorative ribbon I found at Hobby Lobby.

All interior trim is BMF except the steering wheel and it is hand painted with brush.

Paint is Rustolem cobalt blue metallic, and Rusoleum 2X clear

Interior paint is Rustoleum semi gloss black

Engine paint is Dupli Color Ford blue

And as always all comments welcomed Thanks for taking the time to look!!

lmpressive build Larry. Awsume detail....

[Maindrian Pace]

Very nice, Larry. Yours is one of the only ones I've seen built with the corrected windshield A pillar trim - BMF'd all the way to the vent frames. That makes this kit look much better.

Just beautiful!

Thanks so much guys for the uplifting comments! I had a lot of fun with this one!!

Dale: yes that it the AMT #6926 kit, I've had it forever got two Fairlane 427 kits also one of which is my next project, not going to be detailed like this one, maybe some plug wires and minor stuff

Mike: I tried my best to get the factory stock detail correct, with that being said I had every intention on applying the body side stripes, but even with a coat of Micro Scale decal film they still pretty much disintergrated, I did find a few 1:1 that did not have stripes, not sure if they were factory correct or not, but it is what it is

Oscar: just can't squeeze out any more spare time right now

Rich: I have been watching and taking notes from your fabulous interiors!!

One other thing in the engine pic taken from the side there is a black stripe across the altenator that is the top bracket, not painted but a Detail Master PE bracket, this car was built before the invention of the floating altenator, just incase Harry takes a peek!! it's got mirrors too!!

[Lovefordgalaxie]

WOW, I just loved it!!!

Great engine detail. Also great to see the shock mounts at the towers, that adds a lot to the model.

Not to mention the color, that is just perfect for the car.

Wow, that really came out beautiful! Incredible engine compartment detail!

[Chris White]

Larry that beautiful, that engine detail is over top (good not bad)

[satterwhite78]

with the addition of the shock towers greatly improves and enhances the engine compartment overall. Both the 66 Fairlane and 67 Cyclone kits are a joy to build. Great job!
