FordRodnKustom Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 It's a box art build. I've been working on this one off and on for a few years and decided to get on it and finish it. It will be close to the orginal art except the wheels which I changed to chrome reversed. I always thought they would look better than the moons on steelies. lowered the suspensions A pile of parts 312 I love the "Jetsons" interior in this kit I mixed up Testors Kandy Scarlet and Metalflake purple Here it is as of yesterday-BMF'd and first mock up
Mercman Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 (edited) Lovin it. Al;thought the moons with steelies would look good too. Just notice in the last pic your side pipe is missing. Edited January 13, 2013 by Mercman

Kustoms Illustrated Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Absolutely love it, Ron! This has always been my favorite kit and I always loved that image on the side of the box. To see it as an actual built kit is too cool! You nailed the color, too! Can't wait to see it 100% finished.
Guest Johnny Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Love that car and that kit! You have a great build going there!
62rebel Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 another of my favorite models, and you're doing a great job with it. i wish there were more of the optional parts present in the numerous reissues but it seems like they welded off another section of sprue every time they reissued it. the Y-block in this and the '57 Fairlane 500 kit are nearly as nice as the recent Revell version. again; excellent work!
gautreau Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Great looking build so far.I think I might try and find a few of these to build.
rmvw guy Posted January 13, 2013 Posted January 13, 2013 Nice, I'm with you on the old box art look and you nailed it even better with the chrome wheels. Can't wait for some more pictures at different angles.
FordRodnKustom Posted January 13, 2013 Author Posted January 13, 2013 Thanks all for your good words on this build!
