1957 Ford long roof

[crazyjim]

This is an IPMS Reviewer Corps build of the Revell '57 Ford Gasser kit.  I didn't build it as a gasser, but more a mild custom.  It's finished in HOK planet green.

Looks absolutely killer !!!-I wonder how many rooms it must take to store all these builds-you really knock em out with  such consistent quality-bravo my friend !!!

[crazyjim]

Thanks everyone.  You guys are too kind.

Another great looking build Jim wish I could build as fast as you. Takes me forever to complete a build. Great job??

[crazyjim]

Thanks Joe.  Bear in mind I'm retired and usually spend every afternoon in my shop where there's always 3 builds going.

That is one beautiful color.

Good looking wagon Jim! I also like the green you picked. Almost bought this kit earlier today.

Thank you Anton and Wayne.

Thanks Joe.  Bear in mind I'm retired and usually spend every afternoon in my shop where there's always 3 builds going.

I am also retired, but for some reason there is a list of "to do" items longer than my arm.  That being said, this is one beautiful Ford wagon.

Thanks Ricky.  Mornings are for chores while afternoons are for building. At least in my little world.

Very nice looking model.  And shiny too! 

Foil work looks especially nice.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Ken.  SHINY RULES!

Nice touch using the AMT valve covers. The plug wires are on a impossible place for a Y-Block tough. They have to get to the spark plugs from below. making them reach the spark plugs like you did will result on the wires melting in contact with the manifold. On a 1:1, of course.

WOW! -Dare to be different -and you did!!!  -Nice job!!

[V8 Trucker]

successful Custom Ford, well done

[crazyjim]

Thanks Tulio, Dann, and Jan.  I wanted chrome valve covers so I picked a set from the parts bin.  I don't know what they came from. I was thinking of running the ignition wires over the exhaust manifolds, but didn't think that was correct, so I went under them.  Which was much more work.
