Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 This was a two day job. Had the idea when a friend came to use my compressor, and saw me working on my next build, a 1932 Ford. He asked why not to build a fenderless Ford. Like my '32 is going to be stock to the bone, that was a discarded idea. By other hand I remembered a picture of a Ford dealer show room back in 1957... Had to do some modifications to the frame, so it can be displayed just by itself, but I think it turned out ok. 1957 Ford Frame. by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Frame. by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Frame. by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Frame. by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr 1957 Ford Frame. by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr This one I just couldn't resist doing: The visible Ford: Visible 1957 Ford by Lovefordgalaxie, on Flickr
Baugher Garage Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Nice work, Tulio! I really like your electronic version with the translucent body overlaid onto the frame. I have to say, your grass on the background is a little too bright though! Looks a bit toxic! :-) I'm always impressed by your projects - especially since they're Fords!
rmvw guy Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Nice, great idea, well done. Probably not as easy as it looks at first glance. I was thinking about the top side of the gas tank and mufflers. What else was added?
Ramfins59 Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 That looks great Tulio. Nice job. It reminds me of a display piece that a departed modeler named Joe Cavorley made about 20 or 25 years ago showing all the assembled chassis parts for a '32 Ford plus some other parts all mounted in a Ford display truck.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 25, 2014 Author Posted March 25, 2014 Thanks guys!!! Nice, great idea, well done. Probably not as easy as it looks at first glance. I was thinking about the top side of the gas tank and mufflers. What else was added? The top of the fuel tank actually is present on the kit!! I had to fill the top side of the frame rails and mufflers. Also opened the holes where the screws that keep the body and frame together go. I'll still add the shifter linkage, but that's about all.
Erik Smith Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Very cool. I love separate frame models for this very reason... Great work

I don't know what you could mount it to though. Looks cool like it is.

To be driven? Like this one? I would have to add a seat, pedals, a radiator and a battery. It would be a wild ride!!
1 bad55 stan Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Your skills are amazing,you have some great ideas.I just love looking at your work..Another top build...
1930fordpickup Posted March 25, 2014 Posted March 25, 2014 Yes, another great looking model ! Well done .
realgone58 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Awesome addition to your Ford collection! Beautiful work!
rustybill1960 Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 That is seeing a kit differently! I like it a lot! Thank You for sharing Later Russ
ChrisBcritter Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Nice clean work as always, Tulio! Plus you have all those nice leftover parts. Now if you don't want to do a '57 Ford, you can use a '57 Chrysler:
