Wow! This is absolutely amazing. Im not proud to admit but on almost all my builds I forget to add the lower radiator hose😬. This car is right up my alle, now I have to build a 40 ford.

Thanks! 

That pesky lower hose is easy to overlook. Heck, half the time the kits don’t even include it! 🤣

This past Sunday afternoon was spent doing all of the final sanding and clean up to prep everything for paint with an intermission run to Pegasus Hobbies to get said paint. Laid all the bare plastic parts out in a “yard sale” pose. There’s not a lot to these old AMT kits!

There were also two final mods. The first being sanding away the poorly rendered speaker grill and glovebox clock/trim. No interest in trying to detail that!

The second being filling the outer half-round notches in the bumper brackets (the custom bumper only uses the inner notches) and generally fixing up the shape of the brackets. 

Yesterday all of the parts made it into primer followed by the body pieces today. 

Today also saw some parts get color. The same blue will be used on the body & fenders. 

If the background scenery looks different, that’s my welding table at my shop. I do all my spray painting at work. 😎
