After all the kits I've out together, this is my first 1940 Ford believe it or not. This is the older Trophy Series kit. Although it's not a complete kit with all the custom parts, there's enough there for me to complete....I think. If not, enter parts box!

So far so good though. Here is some work I've done.

Here it sits with primer and polished up.

Here's the first mock up. I want the front to sit lower so I modified the front suspension.

Engine details include, spark plugs, a PE bracket for the generator and wiring this...crab style distributor. First one of these I wire and I remember I had these ore drilled ones.

Satin black for the body, red wheels, and a few chrome front end pieces. Back to mock up for now.

Very nice work on this classic kit --- it is one of my all time favorites --- your work proves that with a little attention to detail and some patience you can produce a very nice model!!!

Well done indeed!!!

Thank you gentlemen. Last night I got the engine in place, the radiator hoses attached ;) and the wiring is all finished. Interior pretty much done as well. Was too lazy to get the camera since it was late so these are from my phone. A few more finishing touches and this one is all done. Should be tonight so stay tuned!
