1957 Ford Fairlane Club Victoria

Construction Details



2/27/05 - Here's the resin body I started with. Note that unlike the donor kit, the doors are not separate pieces.

3/18/05 - I had to modify the kit door panels so that the interior tub would fit into the resin body. I cut the door panels away from the outer frame.

3/18/05 - Here the door panels have been cemented to the tub.

3/19/05 - Here's the completed chassis from the AMT/Ertl '57 Fairlane 500 kit.

3/19/05 - Another shot of the finished chassis.

3/19/05 - Here's the primed body test fit to the chassis.

3/19/05 - Starting to mask off the body for the two-tone paint job.

3/19/05 - I use masking tape to cover large areas and then fill in the smaller areas with liquid masking.

3/19/05 - I also use the liquid masking to seal the edges of the masking tape.

3/19/05 - Here's the white part of the paint job.

3/19/05 - Masked again for the second color application.

3/21/05 - And the finished paint job...
