Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 (edited) Almost factory stock. This '57 is a wolf in cheep's clothes. I lowered the front suspension, and and widened the wheels to accept modern wide track bias ply Good Years I bought at a store called "The parts Box". Also adopted the E code dual quad V8 312. Inside there is a tach on the steering column and a oil pressure gauge and and volt meter on the dash. Also installed a chrome plated fire extinguisher on the passenger side kick panel. All of those I also bought at "The parts Box". That guys have a great selection of parts!! Paint is automotive urethane under automotive two part clear. Build time: four days. Thanks for looking!!!! 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr Edited February 13, 2014 by Lovefordgalaxie
Baugher Garage Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 This is my favorite of your Fords so far! How do you do those amazing interiors?!
circaboy Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Thats one awesome build! And a model can never get too shiny...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted February 12, 2014 Author Posted February 12, 2014 Thank you guys!!! Your feedback is very appreciated. This is my favorite of your Fords so far! How do you do those amazing interiors?! I think you are talking about the cloth pattern. That is just the kit's decals. Other than that it's just Terstors flat gray enamel, Testors gloss black enamel, and detail painting with Model Master chrome silver enamel. The gray and the black were airbrushed. The seats were then decaled, and when dry I gave them a coat of semi gloss clear from Acrilex.
Ramcharger Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 That is wicked cool! Great job and I love the color, it really sets the car off!
donb Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 You sure know how to build these cars Tulio. Another great build! Love it..
