 60’s Style ’40 Ford Coupe Hot Rod(More pictures below) This project was inspired by the California style hot rods often seen in the early to mid 60’s at car shows – shiny, slickly turned out, but with their roots firmly in the style of the immediate postwar era. Based on the Revell ’40 Ford Standard with the following modifications. Thanx for lookin', B. Front axle: From kit dropped 3 ¾ scale inches. Motor: Blown Oldsmobile from the Revell Beatnik Bandit kit Wheels: Cragars from the AMT ‘40 Ford Tudor kit. Tires: Pinners from the Round2 re-Issue of the AMT Double Dragster kit. Interior: Sides and back of the kit bucket re-skinned with Plastruct O Scale Corrugated Roofing #91512 to create a tuck and roll style. Seats are from my parts box. The steering wheel is from the Beatnik Bandit kit. Paint: 2 coats each of Duplicolor Red Oxide Primer and Silver Metallic followed by three coats each of Duplicolor Bahama Blue Metallic and Krylon Crystal Clear, each stage wet sanded and polished.         |

I'm finally getting around to saying THANX for all the generous comments. This build is not without its flaws, but overall it was pretty satisfying since it involved some important steps forward in technique and pretty much stayed on-target as far as achieving the overall look I was after. I'm very pleased you all enjoyed it.
