1953 Ford Victoria Finished

Looking good.

Thanks

Nice two tone.  That 'lima bean' green looks great.  Sharp brightwork - are usinf bare metal foil for that?  Seems theirs adhesion issues with their latest.

Thanks John.  Yes, all the trim is bmf.  There are some issues with the bmf not wanting to stick.  its hit and miss.

Olezippi. I love that build the color is spot on. Tell me does that kit have a seprate chasis? How old is the BMF? it will lose stickyness with time.

Thank's Nick.  The chassis and floor pan are one piece.  From what I've been reading the folks at bmf know there is an issue as they are trying to get back with their original supplier. 

Very nice work!

Stay Safe.

Other than the outside mirrors I'm calling this one finished.  

Looks great to me !

Thanks.  I appreciate it.

That's a beauty!  Well done sir.

Very nice work. You put a lot into this build, that is clear to see. Nicely detailed engine /compartment, chrome strips masterfully done, detailed interior, beautiful two tone paint, and a tight looking assembly. Very nice. You should be proud of this. 

Beautiful work!  Those colors look great on that car and look period correct.  Your BMF work looks stunning.  What do you use for a final clearcoat?

This build is superb!  Cars from this era are a challenge to get "right" and you've ceratinly succeeded.  This example is an inspiration to me.

Your photos are very good too.

Thanks John.

I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks TJS.  I use Rust-Oleum Crystal Clear Acrylic Lacquer for the clear coat.

Always a joy to see one of these 'Highway Patrol' -era vehicles (sorry, as a child of the TV age, that's how I'll always think of them) being crafted so beautifully.

Truly inspiring work...and a gorgeous color-scheme!
