1940 FORD

Hey Guys I Just finished rebuilding my first model! Here are some pics.

What could I do on a rainy Day with 3 Hours Before Footy? i had a few spare hours up my sleeve and i decided to rebuild my 40 Ford. This was the first model i had built at least 3 years ago and needed a freshen up. I put in a new nailhead, blower painted the body and wheels, new headlights and lowered it a fair bit, which i think needed a fair lowering to meet good proportions.

both colours loook good on this one.

Cool. I like both but prefer the yellow one...probably because it has windows!

Can you make your pics a bit bigger - hard to see anything at that size.

Sorry Bryce I forgot the windows I will post some bigger pics soon

Thanks Michael

Both colours look nice, but the yellow one does has a special appeal about it. Nice background you have for the yellow version. What a classic shape this car has. I agree with Bryce - larger pics please.

G,day , nice build but like all the other oldies on here i liked it yella

It look's nice in both colour's Michael,but I have to admit it stand's out in yellow.

Cheers Tony.

thanks guys!

The yellow was a bit worn over the years being in boxes and rubbing against bookshelves and what have you, so there where a few chips and the first attempt chrome foiling was a bit ordinary. I mainly just want to freshen it up a bit also me and my brother are building a 1:1 scale 1929 Roadster Pickup with a flathead and it is going to have the silver and black paint scheme. so it was mainly a test... That I think turned out pretty Kool!

THANKS michael

Nice looking rebuild. Would be good to see larger pics so that we can get the full impact of the improved paint etc. Well done.

good rebuild

It's not a sin to drive a hot rod with no windows.

Both versions look great to me.
