I wasn't planning on a Christmas build but the last couple of weeks that I've been to a few stores, they already had decorations out. In October!! Anyways, as they're pretty much in your face everywhere, a couple of ideas came to me. I'm going to see if I can successfully make one of those work out. Starting with a resin 1956 Ford Country Squire. I'd been wanting to build this one or the Parklane and being that I recently botched a body of this same year, I'll take the kit as a donor. Yesterday I let it soak in Wesley's white wall cleaner, along with the interior I finally found. Now, when I built the 53 earlier last year, I had some fitting issues when I married the chassis to the body and interior. Today I've spent most of my bench time, checking and double checking and making slight adjustments to hopefully avoid that. I've picked out a factory color for it already. Golden glow yellow exterior and a buckskin tan interior. I cleaned it up and this one will receive some attention on the panel lines after the first primer layer. Tomorrow I'll add the next layer of primer.

Thanks guys. It is now, Pat. I took the top off thinking I could salvage it as a wrecked convertible and threw it in a bag. Since then though, if you noticed the front end of this wagon didn't have the radiator and front mount so I cut it out of the car and that required damaging the front end. I thought I had taken pics of the process but I didn't :/

(Sing along, using the O' Christmas Tree Song).....
Ooooooohhh... Panel lines, oh panel lines.... How you make Iceman's build so defined
Fiesta Red, would seem the best.... Of stock colors - that's what Iceman said
This build will rock, and roll so cool.... If you don't vote for it, you're a fool
Ooooooohhh... Panel lines, oh panel lines.... You are the start of a build that is oh so fine!

Maybe just in the rear it was a bit much, but I think they over spray looks good on the chassis. let's just put it this way - "That's good enough for the girls I go with!"

Looks good , but i think you should extend the flocking up under the dash a bit, where your feet would sit, it will finish it off nicely mate.
