'40 Ford Delivery

G'day...started building this kit early Jan. and was nearly ready for the shelf...  
when...  I DROPPED IT!..
After much consoling from the Missus , she asked, can't you rebuild it?.
I wasn't too keen on the idea, but then thought why not and do something different!
So with some engine mods, different wheels, lowered front end, some "Custom Body, Paint & Sign Work" & of course a sheep skin on the drivers seat (now R/H drive), here she is... my first attempt at a "Rat" 1940 Ford Delivery.











Yep apart from bonnet being different, any negative comments are to be submitted in triplicate and signed by an alcoholic J.P.... Just Kidding!
 

First attempt, BEAUTIFUL mate.

Second attempt, well, you stuffed it!! but i suppose that is what you were trying to do.   
Great work on the rust and weathering, i personally would have left the other engine in it, but thats just my opinion, which doesn't really account for much.
Over all mate, great job, after 30 years, i still have not attempted this look, i will stick with shiny, at least i know what i'm doing there.


 

 Great work, I like it

That first build looked terrific , so nice .(  I would have been tempted to post it and then say here is another one that I did ) . You are doing real nice work .

That's a great save, it came up well after it's trip to the floor!

Well at least you re-built the thing, my dropped ones end up as spares   
First version did look good, second not too bad, just can't get my head around the green bits    

Love the patina on this, cool work.  

They both look cool. Nice recovery like how you've done the weathering

you've done a great job on the weathering
