Progress: '49 Ford

[ol' dude]

Here is a quick build of the AMT 1949 Ford. After spending alot of time on a kit, I like to do a quick build!! So I do not get burned out! The '49 is painted semi-gloss black over red-oxide primer. It will get the rust treatment!! So really this is another rat-rod without the extra work.. This will be curbside since I stole the motor already!! ENJOY!!!!!!!











This was all done in one day!! I am going to try and build this in three days!! Comments/ feedback welcome!! Dennis

Yeah I have seen your Merc, and it looks good!! The '50 you have there looks very cool! Maybe I will do a full blown custom with a shiny paint job one day? Very cool!!!!!!!

yea i hope to finish the merc by the end of next week. Things have been quite slow i broke my hand . But any ways the merc, is going to be Duplicolor Deep Cranberry Pearl.

Dennis doing a quick build? Dennis going curbside? Dennis doing shiny paint? What the hell is this world coming too?

Looks good man. Will this be at the meeting Im hoping to attend on Sunday?

well I have to say it looks very sleek after one day work, wondering what it will be like when it's finished, are you doing a flame job?


Oh and are those the rims that come with the kit?

These wheels come from the '29 Ford 3-n-1 rat kit!! The wheels are awesome and the whitewalls are even better! Everytime Hobby-Lobby has a 1/2 off sale, I buy the kit just for the wheels.The other kit that has these wheels is the '31 Ford 2-n-1 Sedan!!

bigfrit beat me to it re the wheels. They look awesome. Will have to get one of those kits for the wheels etc.
Any chance of a How To on the Rust effect? Couldn't see one there when I looked.
Should look great when finished. Loved your Rat Rod.
Cheers

Many Thanks! I will look forward to it. Love the"Ol Skool Rodz" magazine and website. I am 42 years old but I have just about read the print off the August/September Issue. You just can't beat a good Willys or a Rat Rod.
