53 Ford Victoria - Done

Jacked at the back , lowered at the front, 396 Big Block, dual exhaust exiting behind the rear wheels, chromies etc (See the workshop for details). All in all I am pretty happy with it. Still need to work on my painting skills but not bad for someone who had never used an airbrush 3 months ago.

Hope you like it.

Cool mate, good to see ya steppin outside that comfort zone and experimenting, i remember when i was a youngster, i wanted a car sitting like that,but now i want them on there belly. I especially like the
top shot, looking down, keep on playing with that thing, your only limited by your imagination Dean. Job very well done mate, greatwork

I agree with Dale - to improve your skills you have to step outside of your comfort zone. Your airbrush painting looks fine to me, and your engine detail painting is great. Love the stance and overall look of the Vicky. A job well done IMO.

Yea mate but thats how they were back in the 60's and 70's. I remember seeing cars so low at the front and so high at the back that if they hit the brakes hard you would swear the back would flip over the front. I much prefer it to flat on the belly look but hey - we all like different styles.

Thanks for the comments folks.
