    I am suprised that one was never made.
  2. junkyardjeff
    I would like to make it a Zephyer and it looks like the roof from the 36 coupe might be a good start and with the trunk from a 40 coupe.
  3. junkyardjeff
    I wish that one was made instead of the Continental.

    I really like the Monograms molded in solid colors,the metallics are not so good and need to be painted.

    I really wanted to keep the original body but I messed it up 40 years ago. Since its the same era body its not so bad.
  6. junkyardjeff
    Found a 40 standard coupe body for a donor.

    Its got a new body,found one not painted and no excess glue so it went on my repainted chassis and got the originals interior. I got it for the lower chrome pieces that mine was missing but this body was too nice to cut up for a custom so I will make the custom out of the rough original body.

    After looking at the body a little more closely I am now going to use the body from the parts car,my rough body will be used for the custom I want to build. The original body is just way too rough so it will be perfect to cut up,many repaints have done much damage.

    I will have to look at a 42 to 48.

    When the rear of body is smoothed out it will lower the body where the rear of top under the window attaches so the top will have to be modified.

    This will most likely be next winters project since I have plenty to do this winter,I am going to gather the parts to do it now. I have the top from the 50 Ford convertible somewhere and would like to see how it fits.

    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.
  13. junkyardjeff
    It was Testors silver,I do not know what I was thinking back then but I used alot of it.
  14. junkyardjeff
    I presume they are a tad bit smaller but would like to see a Monogram six first.
  15. junkyardjeff
    I will get back with you after I try someone locally who might have a glue bomb I can rob the engine from.
  16. junkyardjeff
    Might use a Corvette since I can get one much cheaper.
  17. junkyardjeff
    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.
  18. junkyardjeff
    I will have to look for that 53,did not know it was made.
  19. junkyardjeff
    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.
  20. junkyardjeff
    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.
  21. junkyardjeff
    Firewall has been modified.
  22. junkyardjeff
    I had to do multiple coats bit one would think after 40 years that silver paint would not do that.
  23. junkyardjeff
    New years eve 1974 is when I finished it the first time and I am working on it new years eve 47 years later.
  24. junkyardjeff
    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.
  25. junkyardjeff
    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.
