My ‘40 Ford Sedan

[Hmann68]

It’s been a bit since I finished a project, but here it is! AMT 40 sedan, mostly box stock with plug wires. Testors Fiery Orange lacquer. I removed the side trim molding as most of it was non existent anyway out of the box. I don’t mind a little flash or imperfections but this was poorly molded and a handful. Everything fit well for most part tho. Drip rail on pass side and tops of doors were one big glob of plastic so I broke down and picked up another with hobby lobby coupon so I could replace that body along with a few other lousy parts. In the end I’m proud of it and it was worth it. I filled in the bumper notches front and back and cut the hood scoop down to a tasteful height. As always thanks for looking and let me know what you think!! Thx Cobraman for showing yours and getting me back on this one. ?

I would say it turned out great even with the kits shortfalls. Your choice of the Fiery Orange fits it well.

You did a very nice job on this old kit.

Nice job ! I'd love that Olds engine for my 49 build lol. I like your build but really like that interior shot of the nice detail you put into it.

 

Back in the day I must have built 8 or 10 of these things if I built one ( most circle track stock cars), the nicest one was a custom, candy red over gold as I recall then my 2yo cousin came along and squeezed a half a tube of Testors glue all over the roof. I had built it to enter a contest, so that was the end of that idea.

I really dig it! Great color choice and decal layout. I know it comes in the kit but I also really like the injected Olds engine.

Looks great!

X2 Everything about this build really looks sweet.  That fuel-injected mill looks right in place, and your paint work is outstanding.
