1940 Ford project. *PICS*Jon MW 11-01-2004, 10:53 AM I started this one as a test of the new Testor paints. I got my two first cans two weeks ago and needed a scrap body to test them on. But it turned out to be my best paint job so far. It's dark cherry pearl straight from the can, just a bit of polish after, no clear. http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2774.jpg http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2775.jpg But after a paint job like that I had to do some more work on the rest of the car. The engine is from a Revell '32 Ford. http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2776.jpg http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2777.jpg The rear suspention is from the same '32 Ford and the front is from a Revell '41 Willys. It will have some frame parts from the Revell '40 Ford convertible. http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2779.jpg http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2780.jpg ol' dude 11-01-2004, 12:03 PM Looking good!!

Great rod so far! jgmodelcars 11-01-2004, 01:24 PM excellent paint! how did you paint the detail on the valve covers? light brushing or a mini brush or somethng different? Martin S 11-01-2004, 01:39 PM Those valve covers look amazing ! flying finn 11-01-2004, 02:04 PM Stunning paint! The engine looks cool too, are you gonna do any wiring on it? 76 maverick 11-01-2004, 06:05 PM Wow great paint job :eek2: . Are you gonna wire and plum the engin ? I realy like what you`r doing with the frame :smile: . Jon MW 11-02-2004, 01:13 AM Thanks for all the comments! The engine will be fully plumed and wired and the frame will get brake and fule line and parking brake wires. The valve covers are chrome in the kit. So I painted them flat black, and just before the paint dried I rubbed the paint off the raised parts with my finger. Realy easy and looks realy good.

The rear is completed and the front needs a last sanding. Then I can start thinking about engine mounts. http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2789.jpg http://www.kungsholmen.nu/jon/dscn2790.jpg WeaPoN [X] 11-05-2004, 03:01 AM Holy Crap! how did I miss this...That color is gnarly!
