Hi Guys,

Just replacing this thread about my Candy Red '40 Coupe that dissappeared when the site moved to a new server.

To recap, its a Revell/Monogram kit that has been the subject of some kitbashing. The small block Ford engine is from the Revell '32 series of kits, the interior is a resin tuck and roll from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland (to give a more tradtional feel), the wheels are from the '32 Highboy kit to give a different stance without too much work, resin drums are at the back with photo-etched discs at the front, the body has had the bumper slots filled and the bottom of the front fenders slightly reprofiled and the paint is Candy Red over a medium silver Candy basecoat cleared with 2-pack (all Zero Paints).

I thought I was at the assembly stage and found the exhaust didn't line up so have just made new front sections using solder (final picture).

Here a few pics to remind people:

Hi Guys,

After a break from the '40 Ford to finish a project for somebody else I am working on completing it. Hopefully, it'll be finished to go a competition at the Huddersfield show this weekend in West Yorkshire, England.

It was the first time I had used solder to complete an exhaust system and found it quite easy to work with so thanks to all those people who have mentioned using it in their builds! The rolling chassis is now complete so will be working on the body and final assembly the rest of this week.

Here are a few pictures of the completed chassis:

Looks good Jim, very clean nice details. Really like that color of the body, and paint sooo smooth.
