Beautiful work,   you really know how to capture the small details of the real car,  and with such acuracy down to the proper trunk latch, and underbody parts.  very will done indeed!!

I'd say that's just about right for keeping a fella out of Chillicothe.

Love the reference ! One of my all time favorite movies. Loved the old Fords the first time I watched Thunder Road as a small boy. Maybe Ill turn the '49 into a tanker !

Thanks go out to Bring A Trailer. Most post have dozens of detailed photos that make excellent reference sources.

This kit is one of my favourites too. You really went all out on this one with the opening doors and trunk lid. I always enjoy looking at your models. Your chassis and under hood detailing is superb. Thanks for the note on ‘Bring a Trailer’ as a reference source.

Wow!

Make sure that dump valve works - revenue man gets a sniff of it and it's seven years in the federal pen.

Your build is a great reference for other builders on this forum as your detail work looks incredibly accurate. Really well done Jon and thanks for sharing.
