carsntrucks4you Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Now to something more traditional, my plum crazy '48 Coupe. I had started with Revell's '48 Coupe. It will get only minor modifications like Replicas Miniature's carb distributor & Studebaker taillights and Model Car Garage Sharp heads. I also added some some belt lines made out of half round profiles. I just added some brake lines Here the finished body. Paint is Candy Plum crazy over plum Crazy from Zero Paints. The cal ear coat is also from Zero Paints. On the pictures it looks a bit dull. I think I have to play a bit around with my camera setup to get better pictures.

carsntrucks4you Posted July 2, 2012 Author Share Posted July 2, 2012 As usual a Flathead must be installed into the Coupe. I used the kits engine and modified it with a 3 carb intake from the '48 Ford Convertible, 3 Strombergs, Sharp valve cover and air cleaners from Modelcar Garage. The crab distributor is from Replica Miniatures of Maryland along with some pulley from Parts by Park. And last but not least a coil from Mr. Model. The fuel line will added when the engine is installed in the chassis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 (edited) Man, that looks good! I love the upholstery, the engine, the body color, all the after market parts, the chassis, the wheels, did I leave anything out? Well you get it!
