Great color choices throughout.Level of finish is top notch also.Anyone would be proud to have this in their collection.Thanks for sharing!

thanks for sharing this build.I have never been a big fan of the '40 Ford in any body style unless done just right.Yours has just the right touches in all the right places.Perfectly done.The addition of the side trim and drip rail accentuates the right on the money chop.Too many builders leave those trim accents off resulting in a peeled onion look to the roof lines.The skirts and bagged stance give it all a very solid and grounded stance.Well done brother,well done!

I believe that if someone would mold just the chopped top section from the beltline up and make it available in resin there would certainly be a lot of ready and willing builders lining up to lay down their cash.I would certainly be at the head of that line!!

What are your window frames made from?Please post any work in progress photos you might have have taken during that really slick top chop.

I plan on stopping today at the printing business where I obtained this plate last year and asking for their help.the original packaging is heavy gauge black plastic which made me think the coating might possibly be light sensitive.I laid some sample sheets in direct sunlight for several days with no effect at all. The sheets are also separated with sheets of thick sheets of tissue paper for scratch avodance which told me the coating could be removed by abrading with sand paper.that is very time consuming.I was hoping to produce a polished surface with a whole lot less effort.Several attempts using sanding have resulted in parts with unplanned folds in bad places,kinked corners and uneven shine from all the different grades of sanding materials used.

A simple Google search under"photo of 1915 model T Ford carb "should access a ton of photos for reference.

I am using Easy Off brand oven cleaner.It has been my go to chrome and paint removal product for decades.I tried that and some generic BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH with no fumes and no results.Neither had any effect on this coating. Is there some brand name product that contains the compounds you mentioned?Thanks again!

I need a dependable method for removing the blue coating that comes on aluminum photo plate.i have tried oven cleaner which doesn't begin to touch it.Sanding tends to wrinkle/bend the thin stuff so what's left to try? Thankks in advance for the help I know is coming!

Thanks for sharing with us.My wife is a two time breast cancer survivor so we are very aware of the effect this terrible disease can have on families.

This is going to be a fun build to follow.Thanks for sharing.

Great use for a glue bomb.The body proportions are right on the money!Thanks for sharing.

I have a lot of stuff I gathered on this trailer and of course I am always willing to share.PM with your email address and I will be glad to share what ever I have that you can use. Wally's "plans" were actually more like suggestions with minimal dimensions for a basic trailer with the final details left up to the builder.

Thanks Brad,I'll try a Dremel attachment.I had not thought of trying that.I am also building a 1935 Airstream Torpedo trailer and would like to include some printer's plate parts on that build.

The cuts you make in that printer plate are so precise and clean.I have yet to master working with that stuff except for making some small painted brackets.What method dor you use to keep it flat and make those neat corners? The plate I have still has some sort a green finish on it that I can't get off easily.I would love to make a Hallock style windshield for my '21 Olds speedster from it id I can figure how to take down to the bare metal.Oven cleaner won't touch the stuff and sanding leaves it too scratched to work with.Any suggestions?

Very complicated and well finished model.Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for continuing to post your progress.I know from personal experience that takes twice as long as the normal build time.Your fabrication skills are second to none!

Tremendous amount of work here but is going to be a very interesting model when finished.I was going to wish you good luck but it would appear that you certainly don't shy away from challenges.

Outstanding model! I absolutely love the layers of crud and corrosion you have applied.Thanks for sharing your technique with us.

Without the fruit....doesn't it become just a wagon?If you are building a stock body version you could cover the sides with screen and make it vendor's truck for just about anything like tools.Or how about a completely stock version that could carry a mobile DJ service(?)from the early 1900's and equip it with hand crank Victorias or Edison cylinder photographs.I can guarantee you it would be the only on any display table you put it on!

I personally will vote for an open door on that very cool cargo box.Maybe you could have people vote on this forum for what they would like to see you do.Have everyone that has opinion send you their vote taped to a nice new crisp dollar bill(only kidding of course).Then you count all the votes,announce the results and use the money you got to finish the model however you wanted to in the first place!

This project has very good "bones"as a starting point.I would have paid a dollar for that stuff in a heartbeat.Unfortunately I am always the guy in line behind you when you find stuff like that hoping you will set it down so I can buy it.Always a day late and a dollar short!

Thanks for the tip on not using curing accelerator.

Does an accelerator or kicker product work with any of these?

Looks like you "Nailed It"!!

Thanks for posting that video!I had not seen that one before.Great combination of music and hot rods!Good luck with your build.
