cdansie Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 The magazines and internet are full of references to the 40 Ford turning 75 this year so I pulled out a 40 Ford Coupe kit and set about building it. I started with the Good-guys issue of Revell's 40 Standard Coupe and a left over 40 Convertible body from my parts box. After separating the two front clips I added the Deluxe front to the Standard Coupe's body and used the Deluxe hood. Most of the rest of the kit is built straight from the box. I modified a pair of rear discs from a Revell 32 Ford so that I could keep the excellent 40 Ford backing plates for another project. I substituted a seat from a Revell 32 3W for the stock buckets Paint is Testors Turquoise and BMF was used for the trim
atomicholiday Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Beautiful build. That color looks great!
robs4516 Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 Looks great! I really like how you did the carpet. Is it embossing powder or flocking? Or something else perhaps?
cdansie Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 Thanks for the comments The carpet is done with flocking Chris
