'40 Ford

[avidinha]

I built this from an old Lindberg kit, the awful one with the terrible translucent plastic. I started this as a design study and wasn't planning on building it completely. I wanted to see how the proportions would look if I moved the rear of the roof back and extended the doors 6 scale inches. I ended up liking it so much, I went ahead and built it. I modified the chassis from a Revell '41 Willys Street Rod and the wheels and tires are from an AMT Phantom Vickie.

Love this build, especially considering what you started with.  Please LMK what paint (ex: Model Master #1624) you used.  Gorgeous.

Beautiful looking paint finish. Looking at the new body proportions you wonder why Ford didn't do that.

Lovely! Diggin' that stance too. Just right!

Your custom mods give the car some great lines, and the paint,stance and wheels finish it off perfectly!

Wow, that thing is dripping wet!  The changes you made to the roof very much remind me of the 1937 Ford Club Coupe.  The proportions are great, difficult to achieve when you cut a 40 Coupe!

Cheers
