Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 3, 2017 Share Posted April 3, 2017 (edited) Just finished. Took some indoor pictures as the sun is not going to shine around here for a while... Forecast is rain. Anyway, this little car is somewhat of a Frankenstein. Started with a incomplete kit, whose body was already painted green. The plastic was crazed a good bit, and the trim on the fenders had being sanded off. The incomplete kit was missing the tires, all the chrome, and the tops (up top, and boot) Started restoring the body, and came across a second kit, a complete built up. Kind of a glue bomb, but still looked OK. Along with it came the up top. The boot was glued to the car with white glue. My first idea was to take all the chrome from the built up, but didn't have courage to take it apart. So, I bought a '48 Sedan Coupe kit to source the chrome. I took the original 1998 tires from the built up (with the Good Year name) and replaced them by the no name tires that came with the Police Coupe kit. Combining parts from three kits, I finally built the last '48 Ford missing from my collection. She now sits with the Sedan Coupe Super deluxe, and Station Wagon on my shelf. Many of you may remember a Custom Coupe I built last month. Well, that kit is not mine, I built it for my cousin, and is no longer with me. Well, enough talking. Here are some indoor pictures. I hope to take some outdoor pictures when possible. Hope you guys like her!!! 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Ragtop. by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr And finally, the trim rings I had forgotten. 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr Edited August 15, 2017 by Lovefordgalaxie Adding pictures.

BigTallDad Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Another awesome build!I'm somewhat puzzled by the title "1948 Ford Convertible Club Coupe"...in my mind, a club coupe is a steel top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
