avidinha Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 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. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Beautiful looking paint finish. Looking at the new body proportions you wonder why Ford didn't do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alan barton Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 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 Alan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
