57 Del Rio Ranch Wagon

Hey Matt - Yeah, it's a great kit! Monogram includes a set of wide whitewall decals for the tires and also decal patterns for the seat upholstery, plus all the extras to make a police vehicle. For this build, I won't be using those extras, but they will come in handy on another project down the road.

I thought that looked like a really interesting new kit; glad to see it's coming along nicely for you!

Here's another surf custom "in the oven" right now - this one is a 57 Ford Del Rio ranch wagon that Monogram boxed as a stock wagon or a police car, both of which kind of puts me to sleep. So I've started the 2-tone paint of Testors one-shot lacquer Root Beer Metallic and Tamiya Pure White, with plenty of chrome to be added in between, gonna add some fat white rubber from AMT, and maybe either some Cragars or some reverse chrome rims -- sit it lower to the ground, open up the back hatch, and add some goodies indoors...thinking about a roof rack for this one too.

That's my buddy Junior in the picture. He likes to help. He's giving me "the look" because I've gone 15 minutes past his feeding time.
