60’s Style ’40 Ford Coupe Hot Rod

(More pictures below)

This project was inspired by the California style hot rods often seen in the early to mid 60’s at car shows – shiny, slickly turned out, but with their roots firmly in the style of the immediate postwar era. Based on the Revell ’40 Ford Standard with the following modifications.
