weathered 1939 Chevy Foreman's Coupe

[Andria H]

Rusty "barn fresh" early attempt at a coupe utility, based on the good old Monogram kit with a junk small block under the hood and an all stock interior in ragged shape. This took me roughly a week to get done and required a '39 coupe gluebomb for a donor body and a few other greeblies & doodads.

Nicely done. Great job on the weathering.

Nice.

Love the crusty looking finish. Is the gas filler on fire or just an old red shop towel for a cap? Like how you used the pickup box for the trunk. 

[Andria H]

thanks all! Espo, it's a red shop towel.

Nice weathering work.  Looks like its roamed the backroads of Georgia with all the red clay!

Whoa, that thing is trashed! But in a good way. Nice job.

Very authentic. I'm old enough to remember when low-pay blue-collar workers...handymen, groundskeepers, landscapers, etc...actually drove and worked out of cars and trucks that looked that rough.

They always had a couple of lifters ticking and left a trail of thin blue smoke and slowly dripping fluids, but they ran and ran and ran.
