Progress: 1940 Ford Coupe

The life of this model began as a 1940 Ford Coupe by Revell. Well, it is going to be a '40 Ford w/ a lemon twist!!!! This is a first for me with major body mods on a model! I chopped the top, cut out the b-pillars, sloped the back glass and removed the rear window divider. Notice the lack of running boards!! The headlights were opened up and has '37 Ford headlight bezels that will be molded in. Still have alot of work to do, so here are a few pics for now:

Maybe a purple/blue or orange/red/gold or green/silver, hell Mike I don't know yet, it will be a cool finger nail polish color!! I don't know if I'm even going to use those wheels or not!!

As far as wheels, Im not to keen on them. Maybe some Daggars? I might attend the next meetin', will this be there? I'd love to discuss how you plan to lower yours, as my '40 is being a PMSing Bitch. :grinno:

I will probably use the Daggers!! I do not know if I will be at the next meeting or not!!!! If I do go, then yes I will bring the '40. As far as suspension, may just be a curbside!!

Sweetness!!!:sunglasse

Sweetness!!!:sunglasse
Agreed :sunglasse

Sweet dude! i love it! i must start to build rods to because i love them!

Daggars or Diablos...Daggars look good w/the small protrusions nipped off. Big and little Hellas might be cool too.

Since you've chopped it, you might consider raking the windshield back a bit more from vertical...the car is so sleek, the vertical windshield looks like it'll slow it down too much! :grinyes:

Nice!

I think a rounded bit at the bottom of the back windows would look more 'right'.
:licka:

That body work is tight. The rim choice is A-1 too!

Man you're a quick builder, another street rod to keep an eye on :smile:

Um.... did I miss something? What's the progress on the Willys?

Lookin good!!, gonna be sweet!! :sunglasse

One of these days I`ll get the balls to do something like that but not for a long time :grinyes: .

Sweet build Dennis.... you've been a busy man.
