Green '48 Ford

[crazyjim]

Here's my just completed '48 Ford painted in HOK planet green over a gold base with some Pearl ex spring green in the first clear coat. That's also one of Fatkidd's 2nd generation distributors in there.

A tri-carb flathead! Love the throttle linkages and general engine details. Great color.

I always love to see another Flathead Ford engine! I love the picture of the rear showing the tailights and the exhaust pipes, very cool!

Another beautiful build Jim ! The color combo looks really nice on the interior . Can't see the engine to clearly but the distributor looks like it has some nice boots on it .

[Burnout]

Very nice looking ride... and SHINY too!

I'll be honest, Jim, I'm not too sure about those rims- too dainty looking for that car, I think.

I do, however, really like the color scheme and overall execution.

Great job on the model Jim.Can you paint a car without using HOK?Lol, I like HOK and need to invest in it.

[crazyjim]

Thank you all for positive comments.

Walter - the tailight openings were ground out with a cutoff wheel on the Dremel tool.

Ron - the kit has a very nice flathead engine IMO. I don't do many flatheads but I liked this one. I mounted a "normal" distributor to the front cover plate. My engine pics never seem to come out.

Bob - The distributor is a Fatkidd 2nd generation unit. They're gorgeous.

Ken - thank you. SHINY :) RULES!

Charlie - I liked the wheels and thanks.

Shane - thank you.

Sam - thanks. I like the wheels too.

Al - Thank you. I'll be at the FAST meeting on Saturday.

Austin - Thanks. Is there another paint besides HOK? LOL I have about 30 colors in my arsenal now and plan to get more. Coast Airbrush seems to have the lowest prices.

Thank you, Chris.

This '48 is beautiful Jim. You're right, "Shiny Rules"! Everything about this looks right. The color, and the choice of wheels really set this one apart from any that I've seen. Great looking car!

[crazyjim]

Wow. Thank you, Mark. The wheels are from the newer '56 Chevy kit.

[Shardik]

Wow, you really take that shiny business seriously, don't you :) .

I like the color combo' in the interior, and all the details, details, details. Very nice job.

(I just realized, looking at yours, that I forgot the seat belts in my '48)

Keep 'em coming !
