AMT '39 Ford Sedan

[FordRodnKustom]

Got this old Ford done today. That resin body was a real "treat"  but I liked the chop so I made it and eveything else fit. I'm still coughing from the resin dust....LOL

 

As always comments, suggestions and discussions are welcome.

Ron, you always knock us out with something extra cool....and  DISASTER,,,,,you've done it again.....great piece.....the Ace....

[FordRodnKustom]

Thanks Ace.

Great looking model Ron. Nicely done.

[CometMan]

Nice job, Ron. Too bad they didn't make a more accurate '39 for the stock builders, but as a custom, it looks good!

[DumpyDan]

Nicely done, looks cool

[Yahshu]

Nice

[Modelbuilder Mark]

cool looking ride,  I like the bars rim look against that silver

Glad to see you stick with the resin body-the results were worth it 

[Zoom]

Cool!

[slusher]

Nice classic hot rod..

[Chuck Most]

Just plain awesome. The gunmetal color is perfect for it.

Cool,  I like it with out the hubcaps too  !

Thanks all! I like the open steelies best too but it was suggested to me that spun aluminum disc would look better than the chrome moons.

What ya'll think?

Ron, I would go with your original idea! The chrome moons would give it a more vintage look, and just a touch of shine against the gray.

I like the black steelies, or the chrome moons.....either are just right, IMO.....the Ace...

Thanks and I agree. I've already changed them back. I appreciated all the replies on this build. I know my style isn't everyone's "cup o tea"  but I just enjoy these old AMT kits. I grew up glue bombing them together and I see no reason to change now!

yeah, well they don't have to drink tea with you, they can have coffee.........your car's are built for your taste's and interests, and  if some find that doesn't  suit them, they can click to another page.....I have, and always will build to my liking and interest's,,,, and old AMT, MPC, and JOHAN  kits are from our era, and  in my view the backbone and heritage of this hobby.....those kit's will still draw interest when so many other's will be largely forgotten.......keep building them, Ron,,, I do.........the Ace.......

Yes, absolutely. With the chop and the rake it already brings the salt flats to mind. The wheel discs just finish it off.

• I like your approach to this build! Ì kiñda like the steelies too. The original AMT release of the tudor was the first model that I built multiples of !! My buddy Ed loved the coupe. Didn't think there were any left after we went shopping!  

[Sledsel]

Very cool build
