 The Custom 300 sedan is one of several resin kits offered by The Modelhaus. This is a transkit, designed to be used with AMT's '57 Fairlane kit. '57 Fords came in two different wheelbase lengths, 116 inch and 118 inch. The Custom and Custom 300 rode on the shorter wheelbase, so to use the AMT Fairlane kit for the chassis would have required shortening it. |
 I decided to go a different route. I have a couple of other '57 Fords in my stash awaiting construction, including a couple of station wagons which also use the shorter wheelbase. I started with the chassis plate from the Modelhaus Custom kit and added wheelwell sections from their '59 Ford chassis to come up with a promo style chassis. I then made a rubber mold and cast duplicates in resin. |
