Out of box build with Parts by Parks velocity stacks, plug wires and side windows tinted with Tamiya clear orange. The paint was airbrushed with decanted Tamiya candy lime green with Tamiya park green fades and cleared with Testors wet look. Thanks for lookin'.

Super clean and I love the subtle fades. Tinted glass is cool too - nice work!

Really nicely done '57 Ford! I like this body style a lot, it has a bunch of potential to build it in several different ways. You did an incredible job with the paint job and that window tinting turned out really good, too (I'll need to try that). Very nicely done.

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5

41chevy: Yeah I'm leaning towards the Torino as a Winfield /Starbird style idea car like the Ford Custom Caravan would have commissioned. Jan 23, 2024 13:53:42 GMT -5
