I pieced it togather from spare parts and some from eBay,it has the optional Mopar engine from the 49 Merc kit. Been wanting to build one that is a work in progress for years and finally done one.

I know a lot could build it better then I can but I hope it's good enough for here. Three more to finish then I can start on the unbuilt 34 kit,I really like building these old kits that should have been built years ago. I never thought that I would be building the kits my uncle and older cousins built before I was ever in school.

That is the color it was molded in.

This is the first old kit I have built and enjoyed building it,I really like the older Monogram kits since they really do not need to be painted. The only paint was used on the engine,interior and small details,I have two other unbuilt Monogram kits that will get built that are a 34 Ford and 41 Lincoln.

It is now done.

It will be done shortly.

I think this one will be painted black.

Got my last 60s Monogram 40 Ford pickup parts truck,the only reason I got it was the last parts truck was missing the carbs and unfortunately will not be able to save much more then the engine and rear suspension due to it being a very heavily glue bomb. I can not believe I got so crazy about having all 60s parts for a all 60s build but was able to do it.

Got some work done to it today,added a dropped axle and put a original trans behind the Y block.

Starting to come together.

I have not tried that.

The last one arrived today and do not need any more,this one has the engine parts the other one was missing and have all the parts for the 60s kit bash. This one was heavily glued and the bed broke taking the bed cover off so I doubt I will be able to save many more parts,I am going to see if I can salvage the chassis but everything else will be destroyed taking apart.

Got color and starting to put back together.

Some assembly and detailing on the body.

Found a engine in stock and painting the inserts in the interior.

Finally a Monogram 40 Ford pick up I can use for parts,the remains will have something done with it eventually.

This one came in the mail today,it's going to be used for parts in a all 60s kit bash and will do something with the remains later.

Picked up a unbuilt kit a couple years ago and did not want to build it the way it came,I am going for a early 50s hotrod look which there no parts to use so I found a same era 40 pickup that has what I need. The 40 was built but had the stock rims and hub caps in the box unused and plucked the engine out of the 40 and found a partial Pontiac engine from the 34 one of my cousins built for the trans. I am going to put. Newer version chassis under the 40 in the future and never thought I would find all 60s parts to do this kit bash and might be awhile before I get to it since I have other projects in front of it.

I picked up a couple nice built Monogram 40 Ford pick ups and would like to make one a shop truck so is there any place that sells decals for a gas station or body shop.

I know I will have a bunch of money in getting what I want but I do not care,I have spent over a 120 dollars getting three Monogram 40 Ford pickups mainly to use for parts on a all period parts bash build on a unbuilt 34 kit. The first two were too nice to rob parts from and the third one has the box and the parts I mainly want unused so I can build it with mostly all unused parts,it's hard to imagine a kit bash using all 1964ish parts that are unused in 2022. There is no way I could have done this without a computer and would have spent a ton of money in gas running around trying to find this stuff.

I want to find a original Black Widow,Green Hornet and Badman.

This came in the mail yesterday and I have one more on the way.

The colors they came molded in are good enough that they do not need to be painted.

If anyone can use those 8 lug rims let me know as I doubt I will need them but you know what happens when you get rid of something then you need them.
