59 Impala 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 January 1 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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TransAmMike Posted January 1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
