1940 Ford Coupe lowrider bomb

1940 Ford Coupe lowrider bomb

Started out as the AMT 1940 Ford Coupe. Painted it with a Rust-Oleum Flat rusty metal primer, then a flat black, then a pale green color. After the green color dried I took some 400 grit sandpaper and sanded it until I got the patina look that I wanted and then laid down a glossy clear coat. I taped off 3/4 of the headlights and painted on a turn signal amber to the exposed area. The visor was pulled out of an AMT 1950 Chevy 3100 Pickup kit and painted the same way as the body. The white walls were painted on using an acrylic White paint marker I found at Walmart. The wheels are from the AMT 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery kit and painted the same color as the body. I lowered the ride height just a little by modifying the front and rear suspension. I used a red enamel paint for the taillights. The spotlights are an extra part I had lying around. The chain link steering wheel is 3D printed. The Skull and Spine shifter is a 3D printed Nahuel Customs design. The dashboard is painted and weathered the same way as the body. The fedora on the ceiling is 3D printed and held on with a fedora hat holder made from scratch wire I got from Hobby Lobby. The Lowrider Car Club plaque is 3D printed. The interior tub and seats are painted with a Satin Burgundy color. The ceiling color is hand painted with a paint brush in a similar color that I used on the rest of the interior. The Flathead Ford engine box stock and painted as stock looking as possible. The person I have standing next to the car is a 3DP Miniatures design and is 3D printed.
