Aaron_F Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Here's my '40 Standard coupe, early '50's mild custom. Wheels/tires and rear axle are from the '48 Ford coupe and the fender skirts are from the Monogram '36 Ford coupe. The exhaust, from the mufflers back, is made from aluminum tubing. Paint is Tamiya. Thanks for looking!
Harry P. Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 Wow! That is one clean, sharp, crisp model! The paint work is flawless! Not sure I'm on board with the colors you used on the chassis, but that's just personal preference. Very nice...
AC Norton Posted May 9, 2016 Posted May 9, 2016 very, very clean and sharp build.....one nice 40 coupe if I ever saw one.....great work there....the Ace...
wayne swayze Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Very sharp car! Love the black paint! Very cool!

You are correct, clean, sharp, crisp, WOW !
Greg Myers Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 Aron, what do the small rectangles on those Smithy mufflers represent ?
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 That's just awesome!!Fantastic paint, and great taste on the custom mods. The car looks unique as the owner wanted, but can be full stock again with no fuss. That's my kind of customizing, respecting the car.
CarlR Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 congratulations on an excellent job on your '40 Ford - I especially like (and am envious of) the paint job

I like mild customs and this sure is a beauty!
DeeCee Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 That is one VERY SWEET build mate, and beautiful paint.
bbowser Posted May 10, 2016 Posted May 10, 2016 congratulations on an excellent job on your '40 Ford - I especially like (and am envious of) the paint jobX2. Someday I'll lay down a nice coat of black, until then I'll drool over yours.
MrBuick Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Great build! The paint is beautiful. I'm not usually a big fan of fender skirts, but I dig 'em on this!
Aaron_F Posted May 11, 2016 Author Posted May 11, 2016 Aron, what do the small rectangles on those Smithy mufflers represent ? Those are muffler brackets. I overlooked this when I built the model, they probably would have looked better painted black.
