Memories, and another Tribute build....

[Ralphthe3rd]

Below(1st pic) is a real life pic of me and my Dad, posing in front of our '56 Ford Mainline in the year 1960. Let's just say* it was taken at the July 4th Weekend- Dirttrack Races, at Flemington Speedway in Central New Jersey, which wasn't too far from where we lived. The pix that follow the 1st, are my HO Tribute build, of my Dad(RIP) and his '56 Ford Mainline.... which was a car I loved Very much, along with my Dad... (& Mom*RIP, who is seen in the last pic).

Very cool, Ralph. We had a seafoam green 2 door '55 Ford Custom.
Those pictures are great for you to have, man.
Funny how they look to me just like Long Island when I was a kid.
I see by your replica that Dad ran some badass slicks in his day! :>)
Be sure to call me about the Atlas stuff, check your PMs. -- Ernie

Dale Earnhardt used to race a pink Ford like that.

I shrank a 1/64th version down to TJET size several years back. It has a unique front grill thats different from the other 56 diecast. I can't find any picture of the K2 one I made have to keep looking. This is the only online picture I could find

Some great modeling Ralph. Well done.

That's Tom Bakers take on the 56 Ford I made, he is an extraordinary modeler as you can see.

Ralph,

Very cool Ford you built there!

I have been wanting to buy a resin body of one to race against my chevies for quite some time now.

Very nice work!

Thank you for sharing!
