40 Ford Delivery Sedan

[bluestringer]

Starting on this one. It will be a souped up delivery van, but since I don't like Coke it will not be hauling any.  Not sure what yet, but working on some options. This will probably be my last build for a few months.

I know you will do it right Buddy?

[Zippi]

Yeah Buddy.  That's a nice kit.  That's the same kit I built a Pro Street out of.  Got a color in mind?  Sounds like you might have a big project going on to take a few months away from the bench.

Thanks Bob. No big project, but my wife was scheduled to have a knee replacement done and I would need to be her care taker during recovery period. But now we find out they are backed up and have moved her up to December. As far as the color on this one the body is gloss white and if I go the way I'm thinking the fenders will be gold.

I don't like Coke, but I like beer, so thought I would make this a Miller delivery van.

Got a rolling chassis. Put some clear on the body parts, first time using Tamiya x-22, came out ok but I see some spots I hope I can buff out.

Looks good James.  Tamiya X-22 is all I use anymore.  I thin mine with Mr. Color Leveling Thinner 2-1.  It likes to go on wet.

Really nice paint James!

Thanks Bob. That's what I'm thinning with also.

Calling it done. Started out good, but not too pleased with the way it turned out.
