Jantrix Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 It is a very good looking '39 Ford, but I'm really curious as to why you would call this new? It's very well done and I'd own/drive it in a NY minute, but I don't see anything I would consider new or original.

I do follow cars of this ilk, here on the MCM board, many different hot rod magazines , local shows and regional Goodguys events. I felt it was a refreshing combination of ideas not seen on a regular basis, and certainly fodder for a good build on this board. A great combination of ideas, chopped top,engine, reversed '39 style headlights, stance, color, WOW! and with flames too.New to me at least. Edited December 9, 2011 by Greg Myers
Draggon Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Beautiful color! I think those might be Mercedes headlights..............

I must be missing something..... how is the engine reversed??? Also,I'm pretty sure those aren't '39 headlights. They look to be much more modern units.

Joe Handley Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Headlights look to be from a modern Mini.
sobpinstriping Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 It's nice but the rims and tribal flames ruin it for me, I would hate to see the interior.....
62rebel Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 while it is an impressive car, i ain't feeling it. stuck in the fifties/early sixties when i think of 39/40 Fords.
Jantrix Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 (edited) It's nice but the rims and tribal flames ruin it for me, I would hate to see the interior..... Yeah, it's not very "traditional", but there is still a lot of cool about it. the interior is probably the "leather everything" variety which is never a bad thing. And honestly the tribal flames aren't very different from the classic seaweed flames we've been seeing for generations. The chop is excellent. 39/40's are notoriously hard to chop well and this one is very cool. This would make a nice model indeed. Utilizing this style, the Revell Goodguys '40 Ford or '41 Willys or the 1/24 Revellogram '37 Ford Coupe or Roadster would look great done this way. Edited December 9, 2011 by Jantrix
Chuck Most Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I like it- but I'd like it even more if it had the '39 Standard front end!
Evil Appetite Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 that's so freaking cool. just beautiful!
Dr. Cranky Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I like the paint job more than I like the car.

henry57 Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 I'm more impressed with this completely hand built copper 40 ford
crazyjim Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Now that is SHINY. Can you imagine the amount of Brasso it would take to polish that thing?
Jordan White Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Dunno, this neither looks new nor like a hot rod. If anything it looks like those Boyd street cruisers of the 90's with the large wheels and fancy headlights so popular on cars today. Engine style seems to be similarly done a lot on the touring style muscle cars.
Peter Lombardo Posted December 9, 2011 Posted December 9, 2011 Neat fat fendered Ford....I love the base paint and dare I say it, but I think I would prefer it without the very busy tribal flames. I just find them too distracting, and I agree with many of the guys here...what is so new about this?
