Brianl Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Trying to do something different with a '49 Ford. Cut the roof off and chop 22 scale inches out of the wheelbase. Wanted to make it look like a Ford concept/show car so I stuck to pretty stock chrome work etc. Brian 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zippi Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Now that 49 sure took on a different look. I'm liking it and love the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XYHARRY Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Nice custom speedster there Brian, your idea of a what if concept car is spot on. Well done. Cheers, David. 😎👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TarheelRick Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Very nicely done shortening of the body/chassis. The Shoebox Fords are often overshadowed by the Fat-Fenders, but they can be built into some beautiful renditions. Really like this build. Did you alter the rear wheel location, or is that the stock location after shortening the frame? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claude Thibodeau Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Hi Brian! Very nice, and well executed. Life is short, keep modeling! CT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brianl Posted August 19, 2023 Author Share Posted August 19, 2023 Thanks for the positive comments gentlemen. Ricky I took the cut just behind the door. Forgot to mention I also took a couple of scale inches out of the body height. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Great looking body work. You know something was done but can't figure out what was it. Beautiful looking paint color and finish. Like the warmed up Flat Head. Should Ford have been thinking about a Thunderbird right after WWII this would be it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koellefornia Kid Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 I like everything about this build! Ford should have built something like that! Very nice and smooth body work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modlbldr Posted August 23, 2023 Share Posted August 23, 2023 Gorgeous build! Very subtle. As a matter of fact I was thinking that it should have been sectioned too until I saw that you had! Not over the top. Just right! Later- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
