1940 Ford coupe

[junkyardjeff]

Kind of bored tonight and waiting on parts for one project and need paint for others so time to do something with this 40 body I got with a bunch of 60s parts.  Looks like it was intended to be a race car so that's what it will be.

Going leave the paint as is and the engine will be the Olds from the sedan kit since I have the headers.

Used 40 year old paint for the engine

I love a fat-fendered forty...(especially with a rocket under the hood)....proceed with extreme prejudice!

This is probably my favorite kit of all time, like giving Picasso a blank canvas.

Starting to look like something.

Found another 40,the hood is glued shut so probably no engine but I have a Nailhead ready to go in.  This one will most likely be a beater hotrod,it actually has no chassis but do have one ready to go and just need to find a rear end as I do not think zi have any that are good.  A couple quicky 40s.

Like the race car. I built one of the old Lindberg kits into a race car. Asphalt modified with a Thunderbird engine in it. Here's a pic for inspiration.

I do have some bodies that are not worth rebuilding so I might have to build some dirt track cars.

Those headers have to go on before the front suspension.

The green 40 has a really great look to it! Love the black on black wheels and tires.
