espo Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Like the stans. What era are you thinking for your build ? I have not built the AMT '40 in many years, but I do remember that it was a great kit. Always heve loved the these Fords.
slammedi'am Posted July 4, 2012 Author Posted July 4, 2012 Gonna be something along this..... http://www.rodandcustommagazine.com/featuredvehicles/1105rc_1940_ford_coupe/index.html
rmvw guy Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 The AMT '40 is one of my favs. :) I'll be watching you!
Albie D Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Im always hunting for chrome steelies. Problem is, if I found them Id use them on everything. Got a few sets in waiting. Looking forward your build.
Guest Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Modelhaus makes some really nice chrome steelies. I had the same chrome wheels on my fenderless '40 that you have now. I bought a set from Modelhaus and they really made a big difference in it's appearence.
Dr. Cranky Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 I like it. Always have. It builds into a nice model.

Draggon Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Heres a link, part number is W-170. I have a couple of sets, theyre very nice! http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?page=3&c=0&y=0&pt=30&part=1&Submit=Search
Guest Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Here's a link to the wheels http://www.modelhaus.com/index.php?page=3&c=0&y=0&pt=30&part=1&Submit=Search Unfortunately, he doesn't post photos of his products. If you want,I can take a photo of my '40 and send it to you. I need to take some new photos of it anyway since I did a few things to it.
slammedi'am Posted July 7, 2012 Author Posted July 7, 2012 Thanks for the links and part numbers....Ill be ordering some next week for it
62rebel Posted July 8, 2012 Posted July 8, 2012 i've built this kit several times and i have Revell's version that i just can't complete the way i want... IMHO the Revell has too much detail getting in the way when you want to customize the car. great if you stick to THEIR way, but not as easy to modify as the AMT or the Lindberg versions. i have one i built in So-Cal type red scallops on a white body, deleted running boards... one in pale pearl green with white interior.... they're like Styrene crack. can't stop with just one! they look great with the rake like you've got it. looking forward to more pics!
slammedi'am Posted July 20, 2012 Author Posted July 20, 2012 Got the wheels ordered from Modelhaus...Havent been doing much on them...Just started a new job and bout to redo some carpet here so thats been taking up my time.. But got the frame painted,a coat on the body,and almost got the interior done..
slammedi'am Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 Thanks...If the weather ever clears up I hope to get it sprayed..
slammedi'am Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 Got this one back out...Finally got the wheels from Modelhaus....Gotta figue out a way to secure them and finish the body work on it...
Duntov Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Still one of the best kits ever..... I have several unopened in my collection....being saved for some thing just like this.... you are doing some classy work with a good old friend from the 60's!!!
slammedi'am Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Heres some pics of the wheels set up....Still got some body work to do
bryan_m Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 nice! i like it! keep er goin cheers bryan
Grumpa Posted September 28, 2012 Posted September 28, 2012 The "steelies" and wide whites look great on this Shane. Are you going to go with the gloss? Or give it a suade look?
slammedi'am Posted September 28, 2012 Author Posted September 28, 2012 Grumpa,Its going to be a glossy metallic black
