Alyn Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) Here's some pics of one I built a year or so ago, but just finished the WIP today. Revell 40 Ford business coupe. Chopped top, reworked trunk area, reshaped grille shell and headlight buckets. The interior panels scratch built to give the look of inner structural panels. Lots of scratch built details on engine, interior and chassis. WIP: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=49399&st=0 Edited September 12, 2015 by Alyn
BOSWELL891 Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Looks great when I looked at the first picture it almost looked like a real car
Intmd8r Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 This is a very cool build. Well done on the details.
Harry P. Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Beautiful! (in a ratty way, of course... ). Engine detailing is spectacular!
Bernard Kron Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Scale & texture is so good that it looks realer than real under natural light in that little diorama, especially the closeup of the engine detail. Bravo!
John Teresi Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 Alyn.......I love this build........VERY VERY cool!!!!!
Sixties Sam Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Very cool! The photos look like a real car! Sam
Chuck Most Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Always love seeing this one, and believe me you I'll be ripping off more than a few ideas from it for a few projects of my own.
ShawnS Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Outstanding work Alyn. I love the paint and the bare bones interior door panels too.
outlaw035 Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) awesome build in a ratty sorta way...engine really looks grt8.... Edited July 17, 2012 by outlaw035
Sixx Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 I've seen this in one of the mags contest pages...I LOVE it!!!!!!! That is so cool man!!!!!!!!!!!
Alyn Posted July 17, 2012 Author Posted July 17, 2012 Thanks to you all for taking the time to follow the build on this car. Your interest is very much appreciated. Several comments show me that you've picked some of the details that are may favorites as well. Sometimes I think it would be great if I could build flat heads and interior panels and then call it done. This flat head ended up being number three of four in a row. Now if I can get my rear in gear and finish up my Pontiac Catalina ...
Dominik Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Coooool! More detailpics please - from that engine, door and weathering. Whats about the interieur? The long wheelbase and stance i like most. Gives this "sweet" 40 Ford a very interesting touch. I had to look twice, wich base you choosed if it is not standing in the headline.

TheCat Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Thank looks beautiful. Love all the weathering you've done.
Dr. Cranky Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 It's great to see this one again, Alyn. Wonderful and thanks for the new pictures.
