Aaron_F Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Here's my '40 Standard coupe, early '50's mild custom. Wheels/tires and rear axle are from the '48 Ford coupe and the fender skirts are from the Monogram '36 Ford coupe. The exhaust, from the mufflers back, is made from aluminum tubing. Paint is Tamiya. Thanks for looking! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry P. Posted May 9, 2016 Share Posted May 9, 2016 Wow! That is one clean, sharp, crisp model! The paint work is flawless! Not sure I'm on board with the colors you used on the chassis, but that's just personal preference. Very nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Myers Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Aron, what do the small rectangles on those Smithy mufflers represent ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 That's just awesome!!Fantastic paint, and great taste on the custom mods. The car looks unique as the owner wanted, but can be full stock again with no fuss. That's my kind of customizing, respecting the car.

Aaron_F Posted May 11, 2016 Author Share Posted May 11, 2016 Aron, what do the small rectangles on those Smithy mufflers represent ? Those are muffler brackets. I overlooked this when I built the model, they probably would have looked better painted black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
