Completed 40 Ford Kustom

Couldn't get the ride height I wanted using the stock suspension so decided to take the lazy way out and finish this one as a slammer.




Basically it's the Revell 40 Ford convertible kit with a resin hardtop grafted on. Fender skirts are from Replica & Minatures, tyres are American Satco with Model Car Garage Saturn hubcaps. Paint is candy Magenta over a silver base.
Thanks for looking
Andy

Andy that custom kicks ass, that thing is sweet and far from basic.

Love the colour! This just shows your true scope as a car modeler since you can build just about any subject matter. Big fan of your work Andy well done.
