49 Ford Coupe

I’ve been working on a ’49 Ford kit I picked up at Xmas. So far it’s been chopped, shaved, nosed, decked and frenched.

Absolutely perfect painting day today, so I got busy. This is “midnight glow” over a flat black base coat.

Early days yet but I dare say this is going to be another Bryce knockout model. This is one of my favourite Fords - I'll follow your work with interest.

Nice work! .......glad to see it here too

finally i get to see what you've done to this.. looking cool.. alot different to how mine is turning out.. i'll post pics of mine when i decide to take some photos.. been real lazy of late..

Thanks guys!

I have been grinding away at the chassis to get 'er in the weeds. I also slapped some clear on today, so couldn't resist a quick and dirty mock up to check stance...whadda ya reckon? Low enough...?

Nah, go lower.

Looks good! trying to get it any lower would be a PITA.

If it were any lower it would be underground - nice work!

Just right on the height. Low enough to look Cool but still cruisable.
BTW love the way the paint looks under lights, a lot darker than the outdoor shots.

...and chop it some more.

Anyone know if the AMT '50 Ford convertible shares the chassis with this?
I would have thought so but you never know...

Yup, most of the parts interchange.

Nice work as usual Bryce.

Thanks Carps.

Whilst the '50 convertible chassis fits the '49, the '50 has cross bracing and a molded in single exhaust! HTH

once you polish this sucker out ..
go lower !
it's not like you're going to drive it !

having said that ... very tastey stance .

Fantastic Bryce killer paint and stance, should be another top build from you

Thanks for all the nice words guys - appreciate it!

Things have slowed down a lot around here of late, but I am still plugging away at this one. Got the paint polished up and splashed some colour on the wheels. Here's a sneak peek:

...................Luv it!

Man that IS nice!

I really love the color with the red wheels the colors compliment one another real well. Did you chop it yourself or is it a resin kit? either way its gonna be killer when you get it done. keep up the great work ,Like always I enjoy seeing your work it inspires me

It's the new re-issue - I chopped it myself and leaned the B-pillars forward. It was a pretty easy chop...

Looking good so far Bryce...love the wheels along with the paint colour.

looking good
looking forward to seeing it finished

That is going to be a sweet build when its done.

Cheers Tony.
