Finished this one up on the weekend and I'm really happy with how it came out. It’s been a great build from start to finish. This is the old AMT kit and it’s a great kit – simple and rewarding. I stuffed the engine bay full of injected Chevy W motor and treated the body to a candy blue paint job and several sets of Revell ’32 sedan flames across the nose touched up with an airbrush. The wheels are chrome reverse on painted white walls.

Absolutely fabulous! The bonnet fits perfectly around the firewall - you must have done a lot of work on shaping it. That engine is wicked and the paint and flames are a work of art. I love these old Ford coupes.

Thanks guys - appreciate all the nice words.

Chris - Wheels and tyres are just spares I had laying around. The front rims are 51 Chevy chromies - rears I'm not too sure about but they may have come from the MPC Graffiti coupe kit. Tyres are Revell Rat Rod front and painted Goodyear GT Radials out back.
