Revell 1948 ford custom coupe

A little from the front to bring the bumper in closer.

And now we are looking a little more svelte! 
it’s looking a heck of a lot better in my eyes.

Stance appears to have been corrected? I like it's look, are you sticking with those rims? Do they have a center hub cap?

Thank you, the kit has a choice of either flipper caps or I think Cadillac caps, I’m still undecided on rim choice. The tire size is right on the money for the look I’m after at this point in time. But like all my previous work it can all change…

Great to see you back to the bench Bil. Love the flavor you have marinating on this 48.

Thanks Craig the self imposed exile is over. I’m happy to be back after that lengthy hiatus, you will be happy with my next project methinks.

In an effort to keep the flow of the bumpers correct I added back a slim piece of the rear bumper skirt.

i think the bumpers will now sit more flush to the body and add a subtle custom look that I was going for. Now to decide on fender skirts for the rear, cause if I’m adding them I want them on now as opposed to after paint when they can become a chore to affix cleanly (imo).

thoughts , comments, criticisms? All comment are welcome!

Oh smooth...I really like that look. My vote is to keep them both, they look great.

On with tape atm, just so I can let it sit and I can glance at it from time to time to see if I’m sold on the look!

Looking good, a little at a time...just like real.

Tucking the bumpers in helps a lot, and getting that big old 4-speed Hydramatic squeezed into an early chassis takes some real effort, just like real.

But with a powerful Caddy OHV V8, a tasteful chop, and an automatic, this would be one sweet piece in reality.
