mr moto Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Hi Everybody, Finally finished my latest project. It started life as a 40 Ford sedan delivery but that changed along the way. What happened calls for some explanation and a mini-WIP. I decided to try for a look something like one of the old Chrysler business coupes. They have a very eye-catching profile like this: Anyway, that started this process going: The front fenders were extended using parts from a '37 Cord. So that's how it got to where it is. This is the AMT 1940 Ford Sedan Delivery kit. Since it started as a sedan delivery, I'm calling it a "coupe delivery". The rear pan is from the AMT 1950 Ford and I think the front bumper is too. Engine is the Olds from the 1940 Ford tudor sedan kit. Paint is House of Kolor Root Beer Kandy base over Duplicolor primer and followed by Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer clear. The hood ornament is a Packard item that was 3D printed by a somebody that does a lot of stuff for lowriders. Hope you like the result. And here it is hangin' out with its best friends.

espo Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 Excellent looking body work. The body lines have smooth transitions, and the color and finish look great. Like the Bongo Drums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr moto Posted October 24, 2023 Author Share Posted October 24, 2023 Many, many THANKS to everyone for the good words! This build seemed to be one those that had the luck running with it and we all know about the other kind. Somehow i missed a lot of chances to mess things up. This was my first time using HOK paint and there were no real issues with it despite a little bit of a learning curve and I love the look of it. This won't be the last time I use HOK! I saw that color on a build in a magazine a few years ago and was wanting to use it ever since. I like the comment about the Chevy SSR. That hadn't occurred to me before but it's right on the money. There's a real resemblance. Again, just more THANKS than I know how to say for all your appreciation!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
