1958 Edsel Pacer Gasser

This is something I have wanted to build for a while.

58 Edsel named "Sour Grapes" painted purple and with the infamous sour pucker of the Edsel grill.

I am using the AMT kit for the Edsel and cheating a little and using the Revell 57 gasser wagon for some of the gasser suspension parts instead of making my own.

I am using a parts box JoHan 429 and parts box supercharger. I had to adjust the blower belt to fit this combo. I had a resin Hiborn 4 pot injector and scoop so I decided to use it on this build. Wheels and tires are coming from the parts box too.

Great Job Mitch with the seamless integration of parts and great subject matter and theme.

This is going to be good lads.

Nice work, Mitch.

Cool project! More Edsels needed at the model sites!

Now that's different! Me like!

Thanks guys.

So much chrome!!!! Lots of BMF.

This year of Edsel had a yellow engine with white valve covers, so I thought I would keep it "stock" lol

I brushed some Molotow on the injector scoop. I love that stuff.

Interesting work. Hard to get the trim looking right on that one!

Very nice trim work.

The side trim was very tricky.

I am still pretty happy with it, even though it's not perfect.

I got a lot done. Just a few little odds and ends. And I have to make or buy the "Sour Grapes" decals.

Great work, Mitch. A beautiful "glitzy gasser".

Beautiful build! The fact that it's an Edsel makes it that much more unique.
