Beautiful! It looks very understated and classy. Really good chop, and the smoothed bumpers are an excellent touch.

Great job!

Thanks for all the positive feedback you have given My 49 Ford Coupe.

The build was very fun, and the style i tried to catch was the earlier period from the fifties.

AMT's Classic Model kit of this 49 Ford is in My opinion,one of the best kits ever made.

........so many Versions to build.

 

Thanks 

Fred
