cobraman Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Finished this one up today with the exception of the rivet decals I ordered and were/are going to use on the shirts to replicate how they are held on. Anyway , this is the re-release of the AMT 36. I filled the door handles holes as well as the rumble seat detail. I wired the engine and made the front skirts from sheet plastic. Decals are from the parts box. The paint is Fathom Green and Tamiya Silver Leaf on the skirts. I don't normally like greens too much but I really like this one. It was also clear coated. Not exactly the outcome I was shooting for but at least it's different. Good or bad I will leave to you. Comments as always are welcome pro or con.
TooOld Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Looks great Ray , like it's ready to hit the dry lakes !
slusher Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Great looking model Ray. Real nice work on the this one. I like it...
MikeBoyle Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 Great looking build. Colors look great. Now I'm going to have to dig mine out of the box and finish it!
Maxicoop Posted July 10, 2014 Posted July 10, 2014 That is sick !!!!!! I'm really liking this one ............ what kind of power plant is in it?? and what's it's top speed on the flats ???
cobraman Posted July 10, 2014 Author Posted July 10, 2014 Thanks guys. You are too kind. As far as the engine goes I used the optional v8 that comes in the kit.
58 Impala Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Very cool, looks great. I just picked up another 36 kit with the intention of doing some type of salt racer. Your build is inspirational.
wayne swayze Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 I like this car a lot. Nice touch with turning the headlights around! Being from Canada and never being at the "lakes", was this a common treatment to reduce wind drag?
W-409 Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Good looking Ford! Salt Flat cars are rarely seen as models, which is a shame because they are really nice. I'm glad to see this one. You did a great job with the paint and decals. I don't like the skirts that much, but I must say that they are very nicely done, too!
rmvw guy Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Nice job Ray. Love the treatment on the head lights and the front skirts. Looks like a fun project.
JTalmage Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Looks good. I dont particularly care for the skirts, I like seeing the wheels. I think it needs some sort of front splitter to make the air go over the car rather than under. Plus, some daylight shots might make that green pop. good work though!! love old fords!
cobraman Posted July 11, 2014 Author Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks. Can't take outside shots. I live in Phoenix..... it would melt ! : )
JTalmage Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Thanks. Can't take outside shots. I live in Phoenix..... it would melt ! : ) LOL!!! This is true! I didnt think about that!! haha maybe next to the window perhaps
Harry P. Posted July 11, 2014 Posted July 11, 2014 Ray, that's cool! I also like the reversed headlights... a nice touch. Those rivet decals will add a lot of realism.
cobraman Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 Thanks Harry. I'm waiting for the but ! : )
bbowser Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 Really cool car! I like the skirts but maybe would have toned them down a bit, white glares a little much? Great concept.
