40 Ford coupe re-build

[59 Impala]

Here are some pictures of a 40 Ford that I built when I was 13 or 14 years old.  I about destroyed the car and now I'm trying to fix it.

Very nice start . Clever work with the rear window.

Wish I had one of mine. Frame that long ago. Great start....

Great idea for the rear window repair. I have a forty on the shelf that I built many years ago, so I'll be watching for inspiration to do something with it.

Thanks guys.  I'm getting it ready for some primer now.

1st and 2nd coats of primer .  Still a long way to go.

That window truck is COOL!  What is that, Silly Putty?

Great start!!

Jim, thanks, I use Amazing Mold Putty by Alumilite to make the mold and I use finger nail resin that I got from Sally's beauty supply to make the part.

Here is the latest picture of the 40.  I sprayed Blue Green Pearl mixed in clear over the Black primer.

Stunning  

So what are you going with as far as interior colors?

[59 Impala]

Thanks Sam.  I think that I'm going to go with a light Tan, not sure yet.
