crazyjim Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 Got this puppy done today. I used Tru-Color metallic dark titanium. Interior buckets & console; frenched taillights and license plate. Used a set of Steve Zimmerman wheels.
espo Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Great looking build. I like the paint, super smooth. I like that you kept the Flat Head engine.
Hmann68 Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 40 Ford is my fav street rod style. Yours looks great!
crazyjim Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 Thank you David, Chris, Marty, and Christopher. I came so close to putting in a SB Chevy.
NOBLNG Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 What kind of a treatment did you give those heads? It almost looks like mirror tiles...or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
crazyjim Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks Lee, Greg, and Ray. Didn't do anything to the head except drill for plug wires.
D. Battista Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 Very nice lookin' '40 Jim....! Really like those wheels in on this Ford.....!
Lovefordgalaxie Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) Great paintjob. Knowing the kit, I know how hard it was to fit those wheels. I see you have a hood fitting problem, and the fix is easy. The hinges are your problem. They have a step, that has to fit inside the firewall, so the rear of the hood goes down all the way.

crazyjim Posted March 2, 2018 Author Posted March 2, 2018 Thanks Dave, Tulio, Anders, and Michael. I had to tub it to fit those wheels.
RAMBENNA Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Jim, this is one awesome car, great job, great color and great detail
68shortfleet Posted March 3, 2018 Posted March 3, 2018 Looking excellent. I have a build planned that will turn out similar to that. Will keep this one in mind for reference.
