The designers at the time seemed to know what they were doing. Edited December 7, 2017 by unclescott58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted December 2, 2017 Share Posted December 2, 2017 Just happens that my two most recent builds are AMT '40 Fords. Very impressive kits despite the age of the tooling. They're a totally different kind of kit from modern ones but they build easily and the end result just has the "look". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spex84 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Love that Titian Red '40, Tim! What a quintessential 50s color. The machined air cleaners are very sharp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was going to have been a part of a Service station diorama that I never completed . Because of it's "Period " custom parts , I chose to do it as a mild custom about 1963 . That should explain the striped "Rolled and Pleated " interior . Readers who are Henry Gregor Felson's automotive books will recall the 1940 Ford in a couple of his books Crash Club comes to mind. I'm good friends with his daughter Holly Felsen Welch. I've read almost all of his books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olskoolrodder Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Some great builds here! This is the only one I currently have finished (I had a few built before a house fire in 2011, but haven't built but the one since), Lindberg's kit, I did this as a buddy build with my Dad (he built his as a street rod), this was based on a drawing/painting I found online.

Snake45 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 (edited) Here's the only '40 Ford I've ever built, a primered street cruiser. The idea was to build a model that looked like a B&W photo, and as you can see, the only color on the thing is the taillight lenses.

Brian Austin Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) In the late '80s or early '90s I used the AMT '40 Tudor roof to attempt to convert the IMC/Testors postwar Ford into a sedan. Project was never completed. It's very rough. The AMT kits are great for kitbashing. Edited April 3, 2022 by Brian Austin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
