Re: 40 Ford coupe
Nice thoughts there Allan. As I recall the bonnet needs a good bit of reshaping to fit the back of it correctly. I like the sound of the orange clear - will be looking forward to seeing the results.

Re: 40 Ford coupe
That paint really pops in the sunlight. Hope you can fix it and get it finished soon. With so many 40 Fords being built at the moment, maybe I should rebuild mine as well. No, better finish off the other kits that i have in the process so far. It will have to wait.
Can't wait to see this one finished.
