59 Impala Posted December 6, 2020 Share Posted December 6, 2020 (edited) Here are the finished pics of the 40 Ford coupe rebuild. I really enjoyed rebuilding this car that I built back in the early 60's and almost ruined it. I had to make the rear windows, the drip rails and the chrome trim, plus a lot of repairs. CAN THE ADMINS PLEASE MOVE THIS TO THE UNDER GLASS SECTION? I posted it in the wrong place. Thank you.

59 Impala Posted December 7, 2020 Author Share Posted December 7, 2020 Thanks guys. This was one that I almost tossed out from the days that I built it but thought I might as well try and do something with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59 Impala Posted January 1, 2021 Author Share Posted January 1, 2021 Thanks guys. I almost tossed this car out, but, because I built it way back in the early 60's, I wanted to see if I could do something with it and keep it. I'm really pleased with how it turned out.

TransAmMike Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 Great recovery on that Dan. I really like the color for the '40 Ford. I always thought the '40 Ford and '40 Willys were the coolest looking cars of that era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

59 Impala Posted January 2, 2021 Author Share Posted January 2, 2021 Thanks guys. I also think that the 40 Ford and Willy's are great looking cars. I'm glad that I was able to save this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
