Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 This one is painted Inca Gold. It's a very light and greenish tone of yellow, but somehow under the sun my camera makes it POP and one needs sun glasses to look at it. 1957 Ford Custom Tudor Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom Tudor Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom Tudor Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom Tudor Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom Tudor Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Custom Tudor Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr

Bill J Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 TAXI!!! The 57 is looking awesome and that yellow is like WOW!

Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 23, 2014 Author Posted March 23, 2014 (edited) This is a indoor picture: 1957 Ford Custom Tudor (indoor pictures) by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr And a Thunderbird painted the same color: 1957 Thunderbird Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr This one is also supposed to be Inca Gold: 1957 Thunderbird Inca Gold by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr And this is a 1957 Ford brochure showing the color: Ford Catalog 1957 by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr This is one of the hardest colors to photograph I ever tried to take pictures of. Even looking online, the color changes so dramatically from one picture to the other, that I had to trust the old Duco number to have it mixed. and it matched 99% the paint chip on my original 1957 Ford color catalog. Under fluorescent light, it looks almost light green. I think that Ford was pioneer on a chameleon color Edited March 23, 2014 by Lovefordgalaxie
1 bad55 stan Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Another stunning build,What can i say, Perfect!!!
Foxer Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 That sure does pop in the sun! Very good looking build!
W-409 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Another incredible '57 Ford from your bench. You sure know how to put these kits together and these builds are great reference material as I'm building my '57 Ford Police Car currently. Paint job is fantastic and overall it looks like a very sharp model, as your builds always do. Gotta love the combination of body colored Steelies and Dog Dishes! Are there any problems with these kits? I mean that if I have to watch out some parts fits etc?

Just glue the windshield as high as it can go so it won't hit the dash, and you will have a smooth sail all along. sanding about 1mm at the bottom of the windshield also does the trick. The only hard to install part is the lower radiator hose. I also would strongly recommend that you glue the bumper brackets to the frame before painting the frame and installing it on the floor panel.
PappyD340 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Another great looking Ford, Tulio. x2, you have those 57s down to a science Tulio!!
