'53 Ford Victoria Oldschool

Guys, good evening.

The chosen to be the second that I will ride, after much analysis was the '53 Ford Victoria, the Lindberg. It seems to be a great kit comes with chrome trim already, which makes it easier for those who do not have the slightest practical BareMetal.

Well, the initial proposal is to keep the original wheels and make it very low (smack on the head giving the ants), and Cadillac all black with chrome maintained, which will enhance and highlight black enough.

Here are some photos from the beginning, remembering that this will take a little longer, as I returned to work and college and I'll have time on weekends.

The kit.


Some photos I took to get an idea.






I hope you liked the idea and to monitor, opining and criticizing.

Guys, good evening.

Look at the reference there, only it's a '51 Victoria. Maybe I do not do well with the red roof, I'll just need a red like that, because I have not. The only difference is that I do with the chrome.



If anyone has more references would be nice.



You can see the tray and the front suspension was lifted in its original angle. I glued and reinforced with with with JET JET to give more firmness. It was pretty cool, have a few missing sanded.





Also back in the same gig I did in the Fairlane. I put shims to lift the suspension and therefore put the wheel further into the fender. I still have a few tucked.



It also shortened the sleeves of the axes that would no longer fit. It was lopsided, but hard to do right. But its okay, you'll be good I think.


As the wheel would not fit, had to open more fenders, easy thing, but it takes you to the JET harden everything.



That's it guys, but at least little thing sat on his haunches and sent to see on the bench. As the college is the night, every night I'll see if I do something in Victoria, because after that it was back.


Sorry, I use google translator.
Hugs.

I like the way this is going. As you say it will be one very low antcrusher. Keep us posted please.

I took one worked in the front and rear suspension, it was a little high in front.

Pictures of before downloading more.





Follow the pictures of the sleeves I made from pieces of gall kit, sanding to the desired point.



Here in place.



This had to cut the front wheel housings. Then I'll have to plug one part to hide the wheels.



Now the scheme mounted on the chassis.



The time was with the chassis.



Now with the body and the wheels to see it down.






Hopefully I do not have to mess around in the drive shaft tunnel. hehehe

I know that there seems to be an update after so many days, and even more on holiday, but as I said work slowly.

Please, constructive criticism always welcome as they help grow.

Hugs to all.

It's looking very low and sleek Agnaldo. I don't think you will be able to turn the front wheels very far though.

Any more thoughts on colours?

Nice ride,That is a very interesting coin you have there,don't suppose you can show a pic of it

Tezza,

Thanks for visiting friend, I'm glad you're enjoying it. The wheel is turning but the maximum possible, I did a test before. It may not seem that the angle photography, but rather turns.
The colors already defined at the start of the topic, will be black Cadillac outside and inside or red or caramel.

Pteaza,

Thank you, glad you liked the work in this 53 Ford. I do not understand, you want to see a photo of the coin we have here in Brazil? Can I put yes, no problem if I understand this right.

Our currency is the Real.


Hugs.

Kane

Thanks friend, a delight in his presence you, what good has pleased you. Keep watching.

Guys, good night (it's night here :mrgreen: ).

I have little to update, and I'm waiting a bit longer to put something substantial. The problem is that there's no way to stay in the position of the chassis with the body, it becomes more distant, and I'm still settling, since everything is sanded in place, but it's working.

I had to Livar parts marked in red, it was pretty hard to figure out where the problem was, but were in various parts, bad to see.




Now is better. space was huge, more than 5 mm, is now getting what I want.




But I wanted to put these pictures to give you a look at how the look will be if I change the direction of the wheels.

New moon hubcaps that won the Schumann friend here in Brasil. As he said he would not use, said he would give me. Thanks friend.

Photos.



Thanks for the contributions guys, very important. What they found with these caps? Soon shooting photos with the suspension mounted box and new rear wheels that did.

Hugs.

Hugs.

Sir, this is going very well, I like it. Incredible job for your second kit! The wheels look cool too, nice.
Looking forward to the next update

Sensational work so far! Looking forward to seeing this come together.

Hello guys, okay?

Is a time that does not access the forum by which had lost the url, but I found it again.
It was time that also worked in this kit, but not I'm returning little by little thanks to colleagues from the forums here from Brazil that give me a lot of support and always get carried away with their mounts.

I removed the details of wall trims fire, finished modify the internal side of the engine and spent vault to hit, because the mass of wheels would not enter as it was before. The one part I spent the other mass, acrylic powder and only JET liquid, to see the difference in results.





Well, I decided I was going to make the exhaust coming out the side. Imagine my apreenssão when it comes to just the second kit, making bullshit. Well, as I take the risk, at least in the world of plasti, I sent bala, or better, drill ...
I think it was cool, but in time to force overreacted to the hole and had to coordinate. Put the escape in position with tape and filled the hole with JET and acrylic powder. Then I sent a little mass to maintain the level.




Here he has hit and the batter sanded. I know that seems ugly yet, but when I know how send primer.


Deepening the doors and trunk, gave a few escapades and had to put weight to conceal the risks.

Here already sanded.



Primer on all the pieces, but I photographed only now little bodyshell. looks like sandpaper, but is half aspera, but uniforma coverage. Must have 6 layers of primer




Suggestions are welcome.

Hugs.

Looking good!

its look's great mate

Looking very good!! I like it so far.

There's some nice subtle mods going on there mate, i'm liking it very much.

Mopar 68,

Did not see your message sorry.

How nice that is enjoying my second experience in this fantastic world of miniatures, because I'm so adimirado myself in reaching the second kit and trying new things.
Continue to follow friend.

Adamtep,

Did not see your message sorry.

Hugs for all.

Guys, having problems with the paint peeling all, sealer applied to plastic and everything improved.

The chassis is only missing the wheels, which are waiting for chrome because the chrome was all original detonated, alas I decided to do it again with a chrome I bought, but it was not good. I used to exhaust welding wire of 2.4 mm after the damper to be able to do the curves. 'll Still get the tip of glove fishing, but only after mounted.







New paint finally finished, just waiting to receive bare metal and lacquer to finish. It was much better now, and then I started using a sealer, nothing stripped. : D
Black is polyester. I really liked the polyester dries too fast.







Interior flocking.



The engine until it was legal. I did the fuel hose leading from the fuel pump to the carburetor with nylon coated with varnish stained orange. I also did a hose coming out of the tank but only by firebreak wall. I made a hose coming out of the water reservoir of windshield cleaner that is not there. And I made a wiring that goes from the alternator to the voltage regulator on the wall firebreak.
Ah, I managed with the help of Kleber Bitt and Dionísio Cavalcante who gave a strength to the pipes of the candles. I used the little tube of telephone wires, but had to give in a heated fire, but there was loose hoop done. hehehehe

















Inside the door handles made with bare metal. It was not legal, but it was my first experience with this material. Not much enjoyed not the result, but should be better than masking to paint right. I applied the powder as I had seen before, and of course, as I had problems starting node assembly, was a small gap close to the floor and the wall cuts focus, but I'll try to improve this tomorrow.
Everything here was applied in semi gloss or satin varnish.



















Details of the start of fireproof wall.




Photos from the application of bare metal, because this step already finalized. I liked the result, despite flaws in the pictures are not very evident, but finalized and liked. The problem I believe is the knife I use, because I have no stylus, and even with a new blade just for that, it means chewing bare, instead of cutting just right.

Very bare metal to apply, same too. Never make a car with so many beads.











I made one more detail after these photos. The best so far. To better



Ta near completion. Please tips, comments and suggestions as always, welcome and necessary.

Hugs for all.
