Excellent work!

Agree with keeping the grill. I like the grill treatment, the round parking light/blinker pods give it a '55 flair, basic visual difference between 1955 and 1956 Fairlane models were those light pods. It gives the appearance of the addition of a floating grill to the '55 front end, which visually is pretty striking! Don't change a thing!

Add another vote for keeping the grille bar. What's it from?

Hello

it's fun, the majority of reviews suggest leaving this grille and i want to replace it. am i crazy?
to come back to this grille, it is made up of the custom part from the '56 Ford (of which I simply kept the central bar) and '56 T-Bird bumper buffers placed at the ends. that's all

bye

RodBurNeR: I hope you are all having a nice Memorial Day weekend! May 26, 2024 8:26:51 GMT -5

Mr. Metallic: Sorry to let everyone down but I'm going to have to give up my responsibility running MoM. Anyone willing to take it over please reach out to Bob and I. Jun 4, 2024 16:32:47 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: Craig it's all good, yes please let me know if anyone is interested. I will be a lot more involved after August! Jul 13, 2024 22:57:15 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: have a good weekend everyone! Oct 25, 2024 17:25:38 GMT -5

krassandbernie: I've posted some really cool stuff here on this board recently with little response......this place is on life support! Nov 4, 2024 20:17:16 GMT -5

Mr409: Posting has been a bit slow here lately. It's a shame, in my opinion this is the best modeling site around. I, myself, have one barely un-TRaKable project going on at the moment, once that's done I'll get back to work on some of my TRaKable projects... Nov 6, 2024 12:54:58 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: it has been a bit slow, but i come everyday. i am so close to being able to build and hope that things pick up again i miss this place! Nov 9, 2024 22:04:22 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: I paid up three more years on fotki, it's been 20yrs already! Nov 11, 2024 23:16:53 GMT -5

Mr. Metallic: it's been about that long for me too Bob Nov 15, 2024 7:55:05 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: with facebook and instagram, it amazed me how many people stopped paying for storage and so many great memories are lost. i will not do that. Nov 17, 2024 13:31:07 GMT -5

Mr409: My Fotki is since 14 years. It indeed is a bummer how many pics are gone from old threads. I will also try to keep mine up there, but I also don't have any desire to go to FB or Instagram either.

Nov 17, 2024 17:50:56 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: facebook has it's ups, but i really like to share here when i am building. it matters to me what is said here more than anywhere else. Nov 17, 2024 22:07:19 GMT -5

RodBurNeR: just want to wish everyone a happy safe holiday season! it's among us Nov 22, 2024 22:57:44 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Everything on FB is ephemeral. I'm sure it still exists, but finding it is near impossible if it was posted in a group. I had an idea bumping around in my head and realized it was because of someone's build here, and I found the thread to re-read through Nov 27, 2024 12:31:14 GMT -5

EchoBravoSierra: Good luck finding anything more than a few days old on a FB group. Nov 27, 2024 12:31:44 GMT -5
