DRG Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Don't really care for the," in the weeds" look, but it is a very nice build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldscool Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Another nice one! The paint scheme almost makes it look like it has been sectioned. gus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik Smith Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I really like the color combination. Cool looking car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Cranky Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 I like it, the colors, the stance, and also the wonderful pictures . . . a model always gains from being photograph in a good environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 That is really nice Galaxie! I have always liked this body, and after these customizing things, you've done the body looks even better. Very nice job on this, paintjob is great, and color combo looks very nice to me. Wheels and tires are very good choice for this, and I like to see it without bumbers. That grille looks very good too. It would be nice to see some pictures of engine and interior too... But nice car anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naydrus Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Pardon me, but what does BMF mean? This eludes me. *puzzled* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pepperdrumstix Posted March 27, 2011 Share Posted March 27, 2011 Nice Ford and it is "in the weeds" for sure. Steve, BMF means the use of Bare metal Foil on the chrome trim parts on the car. Usually better than trying to paint them with some form of silver or metal paint or leaving them body color. Some cars need more foil than others too. That Ford looks great in those 2 colors and the custom work you did was near perfect for that car. I can't wait to see more of your work.

Draggon Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I dig this! Im not to fond of the hood, but otherwise it's great! It looks real good with the mild custom parts and the steel wheels with hubcaps, and the lowering really makes it stand out! I love it!

seeker589 Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Love the stance! You just can't shove those wheels into the fenderwells far enough! The two-tone makes the car look even longer than it is! Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
