My attempt at a box art build

[junkyardjeff]

I had this 40 Ford sedan box for about 40 years and have been thinking about building one similar to the one on the box for a couple years,well I found a almost complete kit so time to start.  It's not going to be exact but will be in as close to the colors as I can find but will be more as a hotrod,it will have a dropped front axle with big and little tires but will have the original hubcaps but no trim rings and have a big engine under the hood.  The engine will most likely be the 390 from the 34 pick up kit since I have a few.

Looks like an interesting build. It should be in the WIP thread though.

That is where I thought I put it.

I have lusted for this kit for years.  I shall be following with envy. Got Easy-Off? ? .   By the way, you may need to get a little extra room for the big FE.

How's your firewall clearance? I had to make room with this swap but, of course, it may have been just me ?.

It fit good but no room for a fan on the engine.

Plenty of room on the other side of the radiator ?
