Ford 1959 Fairlane 500 Skyliner - road testing the cooler!

[Dundee Denny]

Boyz against their better judgement, bought this glue bomb because everyone should have a 59 Skyline in their possession!!

At this point they are afraid to unglue anything else after already splitting the windshield and side vents!!

Lots of chrome to work with, and still deciding on the two tone scheme.

Since Scalley NASCARS 1/32 are the item of choice on sale these days, that will be the power plant.

Not a lot invested in it, so we will see what they come up with, sure it won't win any awards!!

Its good side............. the other side has all the carnage!!

Rag top issues too!!

Wheel base soooo close but "just" short.

Back then the NASCAR boys would have removed the top and hardware, add a
roll 'cage/bars' and run it as a convertible.

Looking forward to seeing the boys work their magic on this. I have one of these sitting on the shelf in my American iron pile.

I think she'd look a peach in rich red and white pearl.

Bozy worked into the night to throw on the first color of the two tone scheme.

This first color is a Tamiya Gray Green, thinking gun metal for the contrast.

You will make it look just fine. We used to call them "hammers" because that is what people used them for on the track :) You know you had an old warrior when the body looked like a sheet of tinfoil wadded up and then someone tried to flatten it out :)

Looking good so far.

This looks to be a good one Denny!

Boyz added the gunmetal gray today.

And you don't realize just how long that added bumper mount is!!!

Next up adding the chrome skirts and stretching out that Scally wheelbase to look right!!

Just the retractable roof to sort out, and it's finished! :)

[TuscoTodd]

SHARP color combo! I like it! :D

[Dundee Denny]

hmmmm, did Ford realize all the practical uses for this bumper, the Boyz have!!!

Everyone needs a color coordinated cooler right??
