Dennis Lacy Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 This '40 Convertible has to be one of the cleanest and pretiest I've ever seen. The detail work on the engine and chassis is increadible! My favorite part is the handbrake cables for the rear brakes. I don't recall ever seeing that done before, atleast not in the original '40 style. Congratulations on a beautiful build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 Very nice execution. I usually abhor those huge wheels, but an early 1940s car has enough visual mass so they don't look too bad on them. Well done. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
André Siqueira Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 Thanks to everyone for approval as a new member of the forum. I hope to match as closely as possible with you. Glad you enjoyed it too from this model. Thanks Bernard - The air filters, oil, pulleys I usine here. " I have a lathe and do my part. I'm no expert, but for my purpose is very good. Thanks Skip, Jim, Kodiak, Donald, Ralph, David, Rob, Steve, Slapshot, Don, Brian and Jeff - Thanks for the compliments and the considerations. Crazyjim - On the topic of the Fleetline I explained how and where to buy. Any doubt, make the ask, ok? Dennis - Thanks for the compliments. The set was really cool. I would do more details, but here is restricted to materials. Prefer not to do if you are out of scale. Here in Brazil we have a hard time finding the parts you have in stores. They charge too much. Just to give you an idea, a kit that you buy there for $ 9.00 it cost me $ 35.00 here. I'm trying to do a direct import and maybe open a shop here. I think the deal is good and will help everyone. Charlie - It really is not that we always use large wheels. It has to be well studied, because she stays looking like a toy. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
