I picked it up without a chassis and interior a couple years ago,I was going to replace the missing parts with 59 parts but found a 60 for parts. I got the 60 chassis and interior ready to go in but noticed the wheelbase was not correct so the 59 chassis went on,seen one on eBay and the wheelbase was off so it came that way. The paint is the way it came but added a little detail.

Engine colors
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
I borrowed a can of GM blue from a guy at work to paint the engine,I did find a bottle at HL that might be close. -
I wish I would have looked at the 40 4 door that was at work before it was gone,will use 40 Ford rims again like I used on the yellow one I just finished. I am more concerned about the frame and drivetrain as I know I will never be able to get it 100 percent correct and just use what I can get that looks close for everything else.
-
I used the chassis that came with it.
-
I really like how my quick stockish looking Willys turned out and would like to take it further and go as stock as I can,what kits will I need to get for a drivetrain,close to stock rear wheel openings and chassis. The one I used I think is a Revell street rod and is the only one I seen with a normal hood but I probably have never seen all kits that have been produced.
-
Next one will be more accurate,this one was assembled with parts I had. Will do some research on a body that has more appropriate rear wheel openings and frame,looking like it will take a few kits to get this done. I think this one is a Revell and the only one I have seen with a normal opening hood.

This was built when I got it with no engine and suspension and using parts I had in stock rebuilt it as stock as I could. 41 Plymouth engine and the rear end is from a early 60s Galaxie and a unknown IFS most likely GM and bumpers and brackets from a Revell 37 Ford. Will add door handles if I find some.

When I find some,they are close enough for now.

I need to find a thin tipped chrome pen to do the parts on the front fenders.

Engine colors

Building a mid 70 s Chevy truck and the engine might just get painted orange,not really wanting a big can. If I go GM blue I will try to find something close. -
-
Well it looks like my old Model Masters GM blue has dried up so is there anyone making engine colors now.
-
It's getting the bumpers from a Revell 37 Ford kit.

I have been wanting to get one of those kits and need to get off my behind and get one.

What skirts are for.a 40 Ford
junkyardjeff replied to junkyardjeff's topic in General Automotive Talk (Trucks and Cars)
Looks like I will be using the skirts from the sedan kit. -
Yes sedan fenders.
-
-
Thinking a mild custom with fender skirts.
-
I have this couple body that was made into a hard top and got me thinking I can do something with it,since I have plenty of the custom bumpers I am going to get a new chassis and since it has fenders not sure if it's going to be a standard or deluxe.
