re-enter........THE 40!

Dont know where my other thread on this is, but starting another 1. For anyone that doesnt know, this started as a 1940 ford truck by Monogram. I chopped the top, suisided the doors, widened the fenders, swapped the stock bed for a narrowed ford ranger bed, shaved most everything, and a custom double louver hood. I swapped the wheels for the billet style wheels from the Revell Escalade kit, wrapped in revell civic rubber. Had to trim small ribs off the escalade wheels so the tires would fit proparly. Also sports a 1-off aluminum frame, out of K&S aluminum stock hand bent by me.



this pic shows how snug the frame fits inside the body

goodies for the build


frame almost complete!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Feedback always appreciated! Thanks for looking!
