Plowboy Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I built this a few years ago. It was to be the modern version of my '40 coupe. But, it doesn't have the same "feel" as the '40. I started by ditching the fenders/running boards. Then, I filled in the rear wheel arches, chopped the top 3.5 mms. and added a '37 pickup grille. The headlights are from the kit with buckets formed from putty. Wheels and tires are from an Alumi Coupe. Paint is Tamiya Pearl Green and Champagne Gold. If I had it to do over, I would push the front suspension forward and the rearend back to balance it out better. Also, I would place the master cylinder on the frame. Still, I'm pretty satisfied with how it turned out. Thanx for checking it out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alan barton Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 That's pretty cool! I would have to agree with you about the front axle position another half an inch would make a huge difference to proportions. That chop is particularly smooth - I am envious!

espo Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Very nice style and as Alan pointed out, the top chop is really well done and completely in proportion with the rest of the body. I like the truck grill you used. Cleanly detailed engine also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
