Zippi Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 I like the ole Ford Shoebox. Should look nice once you put your spin on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Not sure of the color but most likely will be something seen in the 50s,since I have one yellow I am thinking a light turgouise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted March 19, 2023 Author Share Posted March 19, 2023 Might go with a flathead or Lincoln engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 Like the later model Ford in a Ford for power. The gold color reminds me of some of the gold base colors used for Candy Reds and other colors. I'm a big fan of both the kit and the subject for that matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customline Posted March 19, 2023 Share Posted March 19, 2023 How about leave the y-block and the spinner wheel covers, add some rust in the rockers and rear quarters, and paint one fender primer gray. Trim out the chrome and just make it "road-worthy". A survivor, yes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
