Modlbldr Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I started this in March, 2018 and got very close to finishing before setting it aside an forgot it on a shelf for the last two and a half years. I just washed the dust off of it last night and got it across the finish line. Here is the link to the build: Painted with HOK Kopper Pearl and used Modelhaus tires for the front. Interior is a 40 Ford bucket and dash with 53 Ford steering wheel. Other than that, nothing special. Later- 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
