David G. Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) I've been working on this for a few months, and now it's done. Complete with PA plates and road grit. A Pennsylvania car from this era would have likely had snow tires on it at some point in its life. I was able to find some at the Desert Scale Classic last week. With the snow tires comes the road grit. It's my first attempt at painting "dirt" with my airbrush. PA plates and snow tires, a natural combination. Thanks for looking and (always) feel free to comment. David G. Edited September 30, 2021 by David G. Photos Restored 1
Scalper Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Awesome I really like it. the snow tires and the weathering is the perfect touch. Nice work.
Randytheroadrunner Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 (edited) Good looking! I lived in PA back then, and you used to see a lot of those with wooden back bumpers because the originals fell off. Fords didn't fare well in the road salt in those days.

Erik Smith Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Nice. I like the "real world" look. Great work.
Jordan 191 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 I immediately appreciated the snow tires before I read your text. Very real!
PappyD340 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Very nicely done, David. Charlie Larkin I agree!

Fords didn't fare well in the road salt in those days. Thanks. I grew up in the Youngstown area and I remember seeing all manner of makeshift repairs folks used to keep their cars together as they slowly rusted away. I had more than my share of rust buckets too. David G.Thanks everyone for the kind comments. David G.
Sixties Sam Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Very nice! My cars all look worse than that in the winters here! Sam
realgone58 Posted April 23, 2014 Posted April 23, 2014 Cool build! Great weathering and I dig the old snow's on the back. I remember that stuff well.
Speedfreak Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 That is cool as doo doo David! Very convincing.
crazyjim Posted April 24, 2014 Posted April 24, 2014 The snow tires and weathering make it really nice.
