Thanks for the feedback. Glad you like the motor enhancements

Thanks for responding. Glad you like it.

Thanks. I have always liked hemis. The one in the Revell 32 Coupe is pretty nice.

Thanks. The wheels are from Jays Resin . They are very nicely done.

I appreciate the feed back. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for looking Dave. Glad you like it.

Engine bay looks fantastic.

Thanks for the feedback. Jays Resin wheels has some really nice options to choose from. I am partial to the torque thrust wheels I chose. I will post some updates as I proceed. Probably tackle the interior next.

Glad you like it. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the compliment Kit. Don't know if you remember, bur we met last year in Salt Lake.

Gotta love those 40's! Glad you like it.

Thank you. I wasn't sure about the color. I was going for something a little different.

Thanks for looking. Glad you like it.

Excellent engine and interior detailing. Very realistic.

Revell 39 Ford coupe with Revell 40 Ford front fenders and hood. Revell 32 Ford coupe Hemi with scratch built injection system using Parts by Parks stacks. Parts by Parks fan belt pullies. Scratch build A/c compressor. Doors opened with pretty accurate door jamb detail. Scratch built frame using 40 Ford rails, and Monogram 37 Ford bracing and IFS modified to be posable steering. Will add scratch built 4 LInk rear suspension and RB Motion coil overs at all four corners. Jays Resin wheels and tires. Rear wheels modified to fit Jays wide rear tires from their 17 inch slotted wheel kit.

I just read the MCM article about you. Well deserved tribute to you!!! Your Street

Nicely done so far. Will you be matching the woody wood to the beautiful wood on the boat?

You are on the way to turning this into a very nice hot rod. Door hinges and inner door panels are well done. One suggestion. Get rid of the "stake" holes on the box sides. They don't make sense to me.

Nice work on the glass. Thanks for the "tutorial"

Nicely done. The use of brass for the springs, bumpers and frame rails in particular really give the model realistic dimensions.

HI Tim. Thanks for sharing these old photos. i remember when they were featured in Scale Auto. The 48 was the inspiration for the black 48 Ranchero I built recently. (I took it to GSL this year and have a thread about it in this section of this forum called "48 Ford Ranchero") Always enjoy the historical stuff you share with us.
