bobss396 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) Thanks to fellow LIARS member Andy for posting my pix on his Fotki site. I hope the links work, wasn't able to figure out how to get them to open by themselves.

dub Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 The links work for me. Looks pretty good too! I love how dumped it is. I also dig the striped blanket on the front seat. What did you use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 (edited) I also dig the striped blanket on the front seat. What did you use? Yeah enquireing minds want to know. Car looks slick. Love the engine detail and the paint job is very nice. Edited November 28, 2007 by Scooby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobss396 Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Thanks for the compliments. The seat fabric is from a craft/fabric store. They sell these little samples of cotton prints I suppose for quilts or whatever. It ran me $1.49 and I stuck it on with tacky glue. I folded the edges first and ironed them. The front was easy to lower, used the dropped axle. The rear I had to separate the spring from the rear and do a little surgery then reattach it.

Thanks, the paint is Duplicolor with Tamiya TS-13 clear over it. Both were polished out, yes you can polish metallics. The 427 is from the AMT '65 Ford.

Guest rick r Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Congrats! Beautifly done! The AMT 40 coupe kit is still a great piece, and lends itself to more individual treatments than about anything else... A true hobby classic...

bobss396 Posted November 29, 2007 Author Share Posted November 29, 2007 Beautiful build. I assume that the grille is PE? Wonderful detailing on the engine! Thanks, glad you like it. The grille is a Model Car Garage item, which was a bugger to fold and get a semi-crisp line in the center. I gave it a test fit, sort of folded it a tap and sprung it into place. It fit well enough not to touch it, only tension is holding it in. I tend to do the engines early in the build and spend some time on them. This one came out nice and clean and I'm happy with it.
