72 Charger Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 One of my new 40's Ford's I love the shape of these .Paint is nail polish silver metal flake and testors candy apple red acrilic laquer let me know what you think
freakshow12 Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 Wow. I think wide whites, white steelies with caps and rings, white interior and a hot flathead are what that thing needs now!
PowerPlant Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I love 40's coupes, and your Ford looks great so far I have yet to attempt a nail polish paint-job... Might try it on my Willys
hack-n-whack Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 I like it. THe way it is, you could go "old school" with it by using a hopped up flathead and wide whites, or go modern with a current small block with fuel injection and some billet rims. Either way, it's cool.

I got the 40 in a trade (sorry cant remember who at the moment) and he had done the chassis and it has wide whites on already .The engine was missing from the kit when i got it so I still have to find one for it

Either way, it's cool. Im tempted to go old school with it. Ive been thinking about doing a tail dragger with wheel covers

tooltas Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 if its a revel's 40 then find a small block ford out of a 32 ford kit would be cool or a hemi out of the 5window kit that 5 window kit has two motors so it a two bagger. it a win win
crazyjim Posted May 31, 2013 Posted May 31, 2013 It's SHINY :) , so I must like it, right? Nice looking build so far.
