I have a extra body to play with and never liked the trunk area,since a Zephyer or how ever its spelled was made thinking about putting the trunk area from a 40 Ford coupe on it. Also thinking about shortening the top and making provisions for quarter windows,anyone ever customize a Continental like that.

It was Testors silver,I do not know what I was thinking back then but I used alot of it.

I presume they are a tad bit smaller but would like to see a Monogram six first.

I will get back with you after I try someone locally who might have a glue bomb I can rob the engine from.

Might use a Corvette since I can get one much cheaper.

Are those kits hard to find,all I found on Ebay were over 40 dollars so I might see if I can get s glue bomb for the engine.

I will have to look for that 53,did not know it was made.

I would like to finish the restoration of the 65 Chevelle AWB and build the 70s unbuilt Monogram 41 Lincoln I bought years ago and build the unbuilt 60s 34 Ford coupe if I can find the rest of the vintage parts I need to build it the way I want it.

I have the Monogram 39 Chevy sedan delivery and would like to rebuild it with a six,I do have some AMT 216s but curious if Monogram ever made one.

Firewall has been modified.

I had to do multiple coats bit one would think after 40 years that silver paint would not do that.

New years eve 1974 is when I finished it the first time and I am working on it new years eve 47 years later.

Working on the 41 Lincoln I built over 40 years ago and for some reason painted the springs silver,since I did not want to take the wheels off the suspension I brush painted the springs black bit even after 40 years the silver was not stable. What is with silver and possibly gold paints.

Decided to leave the body as I painted it since I have a unbuilt one that will be the nice one,this one will get tje missing lower chrome from the parts car and just the chassis and engine will be repainted.

Messed with it some tonight and it fell apart more then I thought it would so it might go to a full restoration,its been painted silver then gold and black again and the body is rough. Parts car has a very nice non painted body and might use it and use my body for the custom.

Almost tried to find a wide bed to put on it but I think I like the stepside better,it looks more like a fleet truck. I almost sanded the side trim off the body since most who would have ordered a stepside would have gotten the cheaper cab but decided to just not detail it for now.

It was a incomplete thrift store find that I restored,in the late 60s to early 70s the state of Ohio used yellow cars and trucks for the highway department so I wanted it to look like a ex state truck. It has a big block and 4 speed with granny trans. Still need to find tail lights and hub caps so done for now.

I ended up getting a FE to put in it,was suprised it filled up thr engine compartment better then I thought it would and it was 1/25.

Getting closer.

If I could find the parts I would like to make it stock looking outside,I do have a unbuilt 34 but not sure at this time what extra parts will be left over so it will most likely be a hotrod. I could get a resin hotrod V12 for this one and keep that stock V12 to put on a completely stock 34 in the future or after zi see what is left over after I build the other 34.

Color has not been picked out at this time and still trying to decide on stock or chopped top.

The rebuilder I picked up has a manual trans so I did not know there was a automatic option.

Wires would be nice and what kit has a decent set.

I picked up a couple of that I think are a Ford O Matic trans and would like to know what they came from so I can get more,I have never built a kit that had this trans since most seem to have manual trans. Fits better then a C-6 and more correct for earlier builds that need a automatic and cam be used as a FOM,COM or FMX depending on the era. I put this one behind a FE and those trans were put behind small blocks.

Still not sure what rims and tires will be used and since I have a few builds going on this one will be the last that gets finished. I do have some spinner hub caps that I think will be used.
