Revell’s 57 Del Rio wagon kit. Just got her in paint this week.
Interesting color. Will it be two-toned?
No, I am going single tone. Building it as if someone ordered it for more go than show. Will have poverty caps and a supercharged V-8.
Cool! Forgot to ask what color that is?
This’ll be fun to watch! Build on Lee! [Y]
i mixed the color at work, I will get the real car color name tomorrow.
the actual Ford color is Willow Green. Here are the engine parts in basic paint. Lots of paint detailing before assembly.
Nice! Fords answer to the Nomad.
This is on my wish list. No hurry, waiting for the right price. Just got a 56 Nomad that’s going on the bench tomorrow.
I’ll be following this build.
Thanks!
Lookin’ good so far there Lee!!! Can’t wait to see the engine assembly!
Engine assembled, needs decals, wiring and some odds and ends yet. I used a distributor from M.A.D.
Engine is completed.
Chassis painted, needs rust paint on the pumpkin, and interior in basic paint, dark green areas to be painted and decaled.
OK, here is the rolling chassis, hubcap decals and exhaust tips to be added after final assembly.
Hi Lee ;
Now I have seen everything . You know of course you’ll get a ticket driving that way .My gosh there’s not even a floor or turn signals ! LOL.LOL. Nice clean work so far
.I am thinking of getting two and doing a conversion to the ever beautiful four door " Country Squire " " 9 " Passenger version .Very rare and unique . T.B.
Lol, thanks. Would love to see that conversion.
Hi;
Based on what I have done with a 57 Chevy , turning it from a stock 2Dr.Bel-Aire to a 4Dr. El-Morocco , I know what is involved .The work involved does make me pause though . T.B.
Would love to see it.
No wonder you had to skip on the fancy stuff. Why at $.24 a gallon, a person will just be able to afford to not do much more than go to the bank, before filling up. Besides those fancy bits are just too much trouble here in the real world. [8-)]
