Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Nice. The 40 I have as WIP is still being worked on. Can't wait to see what you do with yours. T.The only doubt now is the color. I'm not sure about what color to use among the FoMoCo original colors for 1940. The car will be a factory stock '40 Ford.

Lovefordgalaxie Posted June 6, 2017 Author Share Posted June 6, 2017 Well guys, it's being a while. Finally had some time to work on the Ford. Had to do some body work on the body and fenders after the old paint came off, and that took some time. The red paint on the body had crazed the plastic a little. Had a couple coats of primer on, and then shot some black enamel. Gave the body a rub when dry, and now it's up for the interior. The engine is already painted, but will give a new coat of black on the frame after sanding a couple of mold lines the original builder forgot. 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lovefordgalaxie Posted June 9, 2017 Author Share Posted June 9, 2017 Well, I did a quick mock up of the body plus fenders on the frame. It looks like everything is going to be OK. Have the interior, and frame painted. As soon as it's dry enough, I'll paint the second color on the dash, and detail paint the exhaust on the frame. Almost done with this '40 Ford. 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Restoration by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
