Another masterpiece sir. I really like the creativity with the Caddy backside. I dig the quad headlights too. Paintwork is ace as usual too. Really great stuff !!
Just keep picking away at it...

Great finish, Treehugger! I'd like to take that around the block on a Saturday night.

Hey Jim,
Yes I have a nice period "flattie" all detailed going in and there will be some other under hood detailing as well. Fun stuff this modeling hobby.
Best regards - Dave

Hi Pawel
Thanks so much.
Yes, those are the decals on the seats and door panels.
Have a great weekend - Dave
mississippivolSweet build! What's the body color? I've seen very few cars in that color.
Earth colors were really popular in the 50's and 60's.
This is Testors Pure Gold in their One Coat Lacquer series. When you spray any of these colors make sure you continually shake the can as the color settles and separates quickly, and you get different shades of color if you don't.
All the best - Dave
Thanks for the nice welcome Mrmike.
Those 50's and 60's are the days I grew up in too in SoCal. Never better times.
All comments and critique welcomed. Thanks for your honest opinions!

Love those old customs! I remember them well from car shows in the 60's, even saw a few on the street.
I'm a lurker on the Scale Auto site and enjoy following your builds; it's good to see you here.
I'm new here but have been "lurking" for quite some time and things seem pretty tame here. so thought I'd post a fun build I did not too long ago.
I've always wanted to do a build using mostly custom parts from the kit I'm building, so I decided to use the '50 Ford kit as they have some nice pieces.
I'm a bit of a putty thrower (I like to do molding with fillers of all types) so I glued on all the parts and did some filling to make the car look molded like back in the day.
The only parts not from the kit is a '59 Cadillac rear bumper/grill that I narrowed and molded the body to fit, and the skirts from the ol' parts box.
Also I made some interior decals that I felt kind of reflected that 50's "vibe". Anyway it's still in the process of assembly but I'm having fun with the ol' girl and thought I'd share it here.
Any type of comments are more than welcome .
