rrenz Posted September 11, 2014 Posted September 11, 2014 Revell 57 Ford Custom Police car. All black decanted rustoleum. Wired and plumbed with fuel line. Added some antennas which are old guitar strings. Also added an additional amber light on the package tray from a old army jeep model.
gbr Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Awesome job on this. I particularly like the detailed wheel weights. What did you use for the spring bases on the antennas?
rrenz Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 The "springs" are actually just the beginning of the winding on the guitar strings. The "Antenna" is just the unwound part of the guitar string.
Maxicoop Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 that ius an awesome cop car !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! fantastic build !!!!!
unclescott58 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Very nice job. I think this maybe the first one I've seen finished as a police car? Scott
rrenz Posted September 12, 2014 Author Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Very nice job. I think this maybe the first one I've seen finished as a police car? Scott Its a newer kit from revell/Model King. I think released in 2013. Just their 57 kit with the extra parts and decals. Edited September 12, 2014 by rrenz
Lovefordgalaxie Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 The car looks great!! Being a '57 Ford junkie, I noticed some things on the engine tough. The valve covers are painted black, and not red, and on a Y-Block Ford the spark plug wires go to the plugs from behind. The wires left the distributor, pass between the exhaust manifold and engine block, being hold close to the block by a support, and from there they divide to the individual spark plugs. Passing the wires from the top of the valve covers will cause the wires to literally cook passing between the exhaust manifold and the head, because the plugs are low on the head.
unclescott58 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Its a newer kit from revell/Model King. I think released in 2013. Just their 57 kit with the extra parts and decals. Oh I understood were it came from. I have one. I just think your maybe the first one I've seen built. You see lots of Revell '57 Fords out there built. But, very few, if any police cars so far. And again, very nice job you did on yours. Scott
mrindy77 Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. Nice job, I like it.
webestang Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 WOW! I really like this build. Super job. Paint is really nice.
peekay Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 That looks fantastic! (I'm going to have to get over my phobia about painting a model black).
