Testors Flatbox 1948 Ford

[Joker]

Finished the Testors burgundy '48 Carson Top Ford.

Went for a Ayala/Barris/Alexander kustom style with full fadeaway fenders

from the Revell '48 kit. Head lites are the small buckets from a '32

and the rear lites are painted on the bumper guards. Carson top is

a vacuumed form piece with a small height reduction for better flow.

Full wheel covers are original issue '36 Ford (thanks Bill).

Dupli-Color T278 dark canyon red...white primer on the Carson top.

Trunk opened and trimmed with the usual suspects ...Gas/Oil/H2O cans

spare tire and chrome fire fire extinguisher.

thanks for checking out the build thread.

_{Joker, that's a bear of a kit to do OOB much less customize. great job! I don't even think i'd attempt using one of those bodies when Revell has their new version out. impressive work.}

James, that is one great looking build.

Sweet build !

Wonderful build James . Cutting the door lines into the fadeaways must have been exceptionally tricky. Great job !

[TooOld]

Beautiful work James ! I like the detailing of the interior especially the partially rolled up windows !

Cool looking ride with the Carson top .

Very pretty, very authentic, very well done. The lines of the roof, the fadeaways and the curved-rear side windows work together perfectly. Perfect color, too.
