One of several projects I fooled around with before concentrating on finishing the '59 Sunliner was this '40 tudor inspired in part by Lee Pratt's beautiful gold '40 coupe which he had recently fitted with '56 Olds wheelcovers. I also wanted a tudor sedan as a shelfmate for the '40 coupe I built some years ago. I put out a call on the TRaK site for a set of the capped headers that came only in the early issues of the kit and was delighted to receive a mint set from Ed Fluck. (Thanks, Ed!) I also wanted to add some detail to the kit's Olds engine, mainly to eliminate the "Magic Levitating Generator!" Then I got the bright idea to add louvers to hood using section from the Revell Deuce roadster hood sides – the body work on the hood is still a bothersome work in progress!

Anyway, here's the first mockup. Oh, and the stock bumpers will be smoothed of their guards and rechromed.
