Forty Ford Rag Top

[James2]

Satin finish with a flaty, and a reshaped roof to represent a Carson top. This one fought me some with a twisted body but I think it turned out ok. I do know one thing I will not wait to glue the fenders on last ever again.

Great job! Nice street rod vibe with the satin finish and the wheels.

That's a clean build  considering the trouble you had with it. The colour combination looks great with those wheels and stance. Well done. 

Cheers,

Thank you for the comments, everyone. 

The top is the kit piece, I chopped it about 3 scale inches and then rounded it as much as I could. I painted it and the interior Tamiya Racing White and then covered it in Flat Clear and some blackwash to give it a little life.

The body and chassis was painted Tamiya Pearl Green TS60 w/ a 40% clear coat by Model Car World Finishes, it's made for the military modeler but I like how it gives a satin look.

Except for a few gentle mods and a kit bash engine, the rest is stock, Thanks again...

Very nice!

Love the color. Especially the satin finish! I can't stand "patina". I'd definitely rather see a nice satin look, than clear-coated rust any day!

Love that rag top.  Good looking 40 Ford.
