Sorry for the delay on outdoor pictures guys. It's being rainy the last couple of days.

Finally a sunny day. Added some outdoor pictures of the old hot rod Ford.

I didn't know Tim Boyd. Maybe because I don't use to read Scale Auto, or even to MCM. Those kinds of magazines are almost impossible to get here. About 10 years ago it was possible to find Scale Auto at the airport newsstand, but it was priced like gold, and I only have a couple. I did a search here in the forum, and sure thing found him!! He does great work!!

Thank you Tulio!  I love your '40 Ford Standard coupe as well.  The earlier writer was referring to my cover article in the other model magazine, the October issue (IIRC), which features a mildly hot rodded Revell 1940 Ford Standard Coupe painted in early 1950's Buick Titian Red Metallic (which photographs as a blood red/burgundy color).  As a result our two models ended up looking very, very similar, while still reflecting our own individual tastes and building styles.  

Best Regards and congrats on your projects.....TIM

Thank you Tim. 

Even tough I don't have the magazine, the car you built for them is the one you posted on the general section a few weeks ago, right? I found it while looking for you here. 

My '40 Ford DOES look like a copy from yours, what was not intentional.

I used Ford color Mandarin Maroon, that looks very close to Buick Titan red, at least on pictures. If I had the street rod version of the Revell '40 Ford, both models would look even more alike, as I would have used the engine parts from that kit, instead of the much newer parts from Motor City Flathead. Also would not had to scratchbuild the "Beehive" oil filter, what was quite a pain. Did it by using my Dremel tool as a lathe, and only succeeded on the third attempt.

Tulio....yes, that is the car.  You're exactly right on how I did the engine, too.  

Here are some more pictures (can't recall if I included this link in the earlier posting you mentioned....)  

Of course I knew that your was inspired you by alone.  That's what makes it so cool to look at both the builds and see how closely aligned our thinking was....

Congrats again and looking forward to seeing your next project....TIM
