espo Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 In the spring of 1960 this car appeared in a neighbor's driveway. I would stare at it every day from the school bus window. Since I would be getting my driver's license that summer, I was captivated by how it looked. This is the Revell kit with Tamya TS-14 Black for the body and the gold roof trim is Testors Pure Gold just like the real car was done. The owner had someone remove the hood and rear deck trim along with the front fender Starliner trim. The interior is done in Matt Black and a dusting of the Pure Gold to try and replicate the Ford interior cloth inserts. Using the kits engine option I added an aftermarket distributor and plug wires and fabed an exhaust system. Lowered the front suspension and used some AMT aftermarket small diameter wide white tires. The rear tires are also AMT from their Slicks collection. So, this is to best of my recollection from what was a 15 1/2-year-old car nut. 17

David G. Posted June 8, 2024 Posted June 8, 2024 Ah, there it is! I followed you WIP on this one David and I have to say that the finished build looks great! I can't get over how well that interior came out. That gold highlighting really works well for the the fabric inserts. David G. 1
