58 Edsel Pacer lowrider

An obsure choice but what the heck - it's the AMT kit - I've glued the hood closed as I'm just doing it kerbside. The colour is Zero paints 06 Dodge Plum Crazy Pearl plus their pre-thinned clear. As you can see most of the Bare Metal foil trim (and there's of it !) has been done.


I'll post more progress as I make it.
Thanks for looking

Your BMF work is outstanding! Is the rear bumper BMF as well?

Re: 58 Edsel Pacer lowrider

wow, that looks fantastic! Honestly, this is the first Edsel low rider I have ever seen. I must say it fits the part very nicely. and the finish looks flawless.

I used the later version of the kit which includes the conti kit & fender skirts (light green car on the box) - the bumper comes chromed.
Cheers

Re: 58 Edsel Pacer lowrider

Just a couple of pics of the nearly finished interior - I'm sorry about the poor pic quality but the British summer is really beginning to p**s me off - been raining all day so no chance to take outdoor shots.


Thanks for looking
Andy

Re: 58 Edsel Pacer lowrider

Just a couple of outdoor shots of the nearly completed body - the grille insert is from the Model Car Garage p/e detail set.


A small moan is that the chrome parts are attached to the parts tree in the worst possible places so that once they're cut you're left with bare plastic in the most visible places - main culprits are the rear lights/trunk trim/conti kit & door handles.
Thanks for looking
Andy

Re: 58 Edsel Pacer lowrider

looks as though it needs some chrome trim at the bottom of the fender skirts. looking great though!

How do you deal with the part that is missing chrome AND it's in a visible spot?
