XYHARRY Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 G'day folks, just finished this AMT 64 Ford Galaxie 500XL from the Cal drag combo kit. Painted with Tamiya TS-21 gold and TS-84 metallic gold in the waist panels, which is hardly noticeable in the photos. Interior is painted with a semi gloss brown to imitate leather. The antenna is stretched sprue and the rear view mirror is from the parts box. Wheels are resin by Dirty Custom, bought on eBay through Platinum Scale. This kit tooling is very old but still builds into a nice curbside model. Thanks for looking and all feedback is welcome and appreciated. Cheers, David. 😎👍 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Great looking paint colors and finish. Like the stance along with the wheels and tires. Here we have a TV program on Hot Rod TV called Iron Resurrection that id about a custom shop in Texas. The owner built a '64 Galaxie with a very similar paint treatment.

Oh wow, I was wondering if anyone would pick up on that. Joe and Amanda Martin's beautiful 64 Galaxie was my inspiration for this build. Thanks David, you've made my day. 😄👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
