"BlackSunset" '61 Ranchero

Sorry about your prang Paul but glad to hear you're OK.

Nice projects you're working on - that '40 Ford has to be one of the nicest looking cars ever made.

Thanks Tezza,

Here's some more progress whilst I've been "KillingTime"




Usually when the weathers been good of late I haven't been able to paint but I took the opportunity to do just that today

Hey I told you ya have to move back up here where the weather is always perfect for painting. and glad to hear your OK.
You are not aloud to leave us, who's gunna run this forum. We would all be orphans....lol.
By the way the colour and rims look sweet.

One less german car on the road is a good thing.
Glad you're OK.
The '40 looks good.

I got some glass and a dash today in the mail from Joe (Thanks mate your a legend!!).....so expect an update on the Ranchero soon!!

Glad your ok buddy, mate that thing is looking awesome! Cream wheels really set the paint of well

Thanks for the well wishes guys,

here's an update, I'm currently still hacking away on the interior but sat it together to see where the rest was at.


The Glass that I got from Clutch was in pretty good nick, so a quick clean and decal job later it's in. I also added some lines from a few sources.

.....I've also thrown together a powerplant

Hopefully I can wrap this one up soon

Lookin' good Paul! That's a nice natural looking sheen on the paint. Top engine work too - where's it from?

looking great.

That is so cool!! You're a master at getting the stance and look just right.

Sweet.
That's not a '60 Starliner donk is it?

Hmm, that yoot looks like a candidate for the latest H.A.M.B. Challenge.

Are you pre-empting the third H.A.M.B. Challenge with the '40 coupe?

Nah nothing that serious..............it's just the Big block from an AMT '68 Shelby Mustang with some parts bin rocker covers.

WOW that looks sharp as all get out, nice work

This ones moving at a snails pace..........but here's an update,

Interior is as good as done, nothing fancy


there's a December '64 Hot Rod mag on the seat and a Pumpkin shifter, I tried to marble the wheel and the seat pattern only came about due to a F**K UP!!!

Like I said nothing special but it's coming together.

can u touch up the paint on the seat.

I could, but it's not paint!....plus it's glued in now

I dunno. Sorta looks like the black has worn off of the white vinyl (cheap printed pattern rather than proper upholstery) due to years of bums on seats.

That's my theory to Fred!!!

Mate that is one sweet looking yoot! Very nice work great colour combo, looking forward to seeing it done.
