Phildaupho Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) SUMMARY Started with Revell ’40 Ford Standard Coupe Street Rod Deluxe front fenders and hood from Revell Convertible Front independent suspension from Revell Willys Street Rod Small block Ford and automatic trans from Revell ’32 Ford 5-W which also supplied wheels, hub caps, rings, tires and stock steering wheel Bumpers from AMT ’40 Ford Sedan Delivery Model Car Garage photo-etched grill Replicas and Miniatures tuck and roll interior Testors Champagne Gold Metallic enamel - I did have problems with this paint in that some of the metallic particles seemed to clump together forming grit. Fortunately it is not overly apparent in the photos. Edited May 18, 2020 by Phildaupho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Turned out looking great. I like the way you used parts from a few other kits to build this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmericanMuscleFan Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Superb job Phil, this color is very pretty on the car! The '40 FORD front grille is a work of art in itself! Well done sir!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Wow, that is slick. That has to be one of the best "through the scale window" shots I have ever seen - your interior work is phenomenal. I have used that Champagne Gold metallic before and it can be challenging! Wouldn't have thought of it for a 40 but seeing yours has me thinking abut putting it on a 48 coupe.

Thanks Francis - I trimmed the kit grill to just leave the frame and central spine to give me a buck to shape the photo-etched grill and provide a mounting arrangement 5 hours ago, alan barton said: Wow, that is slick.

When I finished the model I took it out to show my wife who was in the garden. I was so impressed with how it looked in the sunshine I took all the photos outside which gave the perfect lighting. 5 hours ago, peekay said: That is nice!
