microwheel Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) This is my 60 Ford Starliner RestoMod I worked on back this past winter. I combined AMT's 60 Ford Starliner with the engine, running gear and suspension from Revell's 2010 Mustang GT 500. Not sure where I got the wheels from now. I opened the doors and did a lot of aftermarket and scratch-building and detailing work on it as well.. The paint is Tamiya's british green and silver leaf with clear pearl and then testors clear laquar over all that. There were a few flaws here and there, but it turned out ok for me.

hemi Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 That is a beautiful car,all the details you added really set it off nicely, typically I'm not a fan of darker greens like this but on this one it looks good. Great job man.
Dave Van Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Very nice work!!!!!!!! I hated the car when I was a kid....now I'd own one....funny how things change!
Maxicoop Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 what a beautiful job !!!! excellent detail work ............. my first car was a 60 Ford only it wasn't the fast back it was a two door post 6cyl. three on the tree .... thinking back that car cost me a lot of money ..... or maybe it was the way I drove it .......LOL
Ryan S. Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Beautiful job and tasteful details. The PE looks great and makes me with I'd sprung for it when I did mine. It looks real good with the modern motor in there too!
thatz4u Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 when I was much younger I owned 2 of these cars, I love what you have done with this kit, wow
StevenGuthmiller Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Very nice work!!!!!!!! I hated the car when I was a kid....now I'd own one....funny how things change! I'm with you Dave. When I was younger, I thought the '60 Ford was one of the ugliest cars Ford ever produced. Now I love them! Then again, I hated asparagus Too! Fantastic job Jim!! I'm not a big fan of customs, but this one is "custom" without showing it too much. Steve
TooOld Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Excellent work , great colors and your detailing is superb ! Personally I love the '60 Fords !
twopaws Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 That is one good looking build, great attention to detail at every turn.
drifterdon Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Wow! The level of detail is awesome. Fantastic build!
GMCMAN52 Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Nice looking 60 Ford....I love big Fords of the 60's
Peter Lombardo Posted June 18, 2014 Posted June 18, 2014 Jim, that is a beautiful job you did on that Ford......the paint is an unusual combination that works really well, the under hood and chassis detailing is spot on. I open the doors on just about everything I build so I love to see other guys do it too........so on that point I have one small trick for you that will improve the look of the door opening job. If you grind down the inner profile of the open door, the door skin will have a much more realistic look. When I look at the picture with the door open and see the unrealistic thickness of the outer door panel, it just hurts the look of the build............you obviously put in the time and added so much detail so that one little point could be the difference. Either way, this is a beautiful, and different build.
