Not bad. I was looking at the front grill. It has that edgy triangular shape. Also, the center piece of the hood is raised on the real car. This led me to one idea: What about adding a plate which you laminate on top of the hood to recreate the raised area? You might also add that triangle at the front while doing so.

Not sure how to do that. This is the simple version. Hint hint (ver2).

This is a quick sketch of what I have in mind: The hood piece should match the middle part of your hood (the area between the curved lines). This area should be laminated to 0.5 mm card. Then fold the grill piece and glue everything over the existing hood. You'll have to adapt the dimensions and heigths to match your parts.

Thanks Revell Fan, but I stay with the simple version. Version 2 will have a nice 3d front and rear end. The Streets of San Fransico cars are done. Just recolors of both 71 and 72 Ford Galaxies yet to do.

Thanks for making these, Blake7! I realized I can expand my period of interest to 1967-1970 and this topic reads like there are car experts reading it, so here's my question for everyone.
To my untrained eye it looks like the 1971 Ford Galaxie is essentially the same car as the 1970 Ford LTD with different front and rear faces. I could fudge the front by hiding the headlights, and only have the rear tail lights and trim to create. Does this plan sound feasible? |

There might be some other things too. I am working on a 72 Ford LTD 2 door.
