Steve_L Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 These are pictures of my 1949 Ford Candy Red Three window coupe. I combined a Hendrix resin body with the AMT 1949 Ford Coupe styrene kit. I lowered it, installed deep-dish Kelsey Hayes (Chrysler) wire wheels, added matching rolled pans front and rear with "floating" 1955 Chrysler grille bars at both ends, and frenched and tunneled the headlights. The rear grille bar sports 1949 Ford taillights. I went with a Chrysler Hemi motor and transmission. The interior is basically stock except for a tonneau cover and chromed dash, steering column and steering wheel. The interior was sprayed with acrylic red paint covered with Krylon matte clear. The exterior is finished with Duplicolor primer, Spaz Stix silver metallic base and candy red paint and polished Duplicolor clear. I brought it to the Magic City Modelers Birmingham Classic model car show, where it won the highly coveted "Ho Hum" award. LOL! Enjoy!
Ramfins59 Posted March 23, 2014 Posted March 23, 2014 Nice job. I like the Ford taillights set into the grille bar. BTW, FYI those grille bars are from a '55 Oldsmobile, not a Chrysler.
