realgone58 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 This is the Revell kit with resin 4 door sedan body, door panels and front seat from Morgan Automotive Detail. I sprayed it in a color to represent factory Cumberland Green with light green and grey interior. First I must say that the resin was excellent, and I had no fit problems with it. The wires/dist are from Fatkidd Hobby Products and the wide whites are 3M vinyl from Vinyl Nation. The paint I used was the worst stuff I've ever worked with, but after one strip job and a bunch of bad words, it all worked out in the end.
Chuck Most Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Love it! Used my MAD Fordor body to make a taxi.
Porscheman Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 Beautiful Alan!!! Reminds me of my friends dads cars, ugly green and all.
Ramfins59 Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 That's a great looking model Alan. I'm hoping to have mine finished in a couple of days.
IceMan Collections Posted October 23, 2014 Posted October 23, 2014 This looks great Alan. Great to see some finished resin builds. Which specific decals did you use from Vinyl Nation? Those white walls looks perfect!
RandyB. Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Very nice. I really like the four door version and rarely seen. Suits the Custom perfectly...just needs the six cylinder now!
StevenGuthmiller Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Very nice Alan!! I'm not real big into four doors, but this was the car you were much more likely to see on the road in '57. Kind of has a refreshing feel or "hominess" to it. A nice departure from all of the "blingy" top of the line cars from that era. Steve
Lovefordgalaxie Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 I loved the model!!! The light green interior was a no no on a Custom Fordor tough. You could choose gray, gray, or even gray. By the way, I really would love if Revell had done the Custom Fordor instead of the Custom Tudor. Always liked four door cars way better.
unclescott58 Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 It looks like the '57 Fords one use to a lot of when I was a kid. I like it. Scott
Kris Morgan Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Thank you for sharing your build here Al. You did a nice job with our body on this one. The color is very fitting of the time period.
Matt T. Posted October 24, 2014 Posted October 24, 2014 Very nice! Great color and stance. I think four doors look better on this sedan body than two.

Those white walls looks perfect! I used the ones designed for the generic AMT Firestones. The ones we all used to paint the wide whites on......lol.
