Hi all, hope everyone is well. Finished this one up this morning. It was an interesting and educational journey bringing this old Ford back but I had a lot of fun with it. Started with this original build up...  Somehow I ended up here...     Thanks for looking! |

Wow! What a massive change from "before" to "after"! Nothing like some bullet lights, chrome reverse wheels, and side pipes for an instant mild custom. '59 Fords aren't really on my radar as custom material, so it's a treat to see one get built. Super clean work  |

Nice save, Ron! I really like tu-tone body, very sharp!

Ron; you've impressed me with your '59, it's a very clean, and super slick build !

Very nice restoration Ron! Seems like the rougher they are to begin with, the more rewarding the result is when they're done. Well done!

Wow, looking at the starting point and the ending point, it looks like there's no way to get from one to the other. That's some fantastic work there, Ron.

Guess that's why I like doing these. Sometimes when I finish one I push back from the bench, look at it and say "Wow..did I do that!?!" Great fun.  |

It really is hard to believe what a great job you did saving this oldie. LOL I knew what you meant there and thanks Gary. I admit there is quite a transformation with it. Anyway here is a link to my build album for it if anyone is interested... public.fotki.com/bigfordpilot/my_built_model_cars/built_models/built-models/59_galaxie_conv/ |
