Hi Guys,

Continuing the introduction - here's one of my latest builds, a 1940 Ford street rod.







Cheers,

Sweet street rod. The stand really shows it well. Beautiful work.

Well done.

Thanks guys - this was my first '40 Ford, you can see why they're so popular in the street rodding world as well as the model building hobby.

Hi Jim,

I love that red, it really suits the car...

Andy...

Great job Jim. I love your choice of color. The 40 Standard coupe is one of my all time favorites. It's not hard at all to see we hy you took a Best in Show!

Hey! I've seen that somewhere before!! LOL

Beautiful job Jim and gorgeous colour and finish. What paint did you use?

Stunning build !

Super slick paint!  Well deserved award, what engine did it get, I wonder?

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the comments on the '40 Ford.

The paint is Zero Candy Red over a Zero medium flake silver base with 2-pack clear.

The engine is a small block Ford from one of the Revell '32 kits with a gearbox from the spares box as the one it came with was too wide for the x-member on the chassis.  I've provided a picture below:



The wheels are from the Revell '32 roadster kit and the interior is a tuck and roll from Replicas and Miniatures of Maryland to give the car a bit more of a traditional feel.

Cheers, Jim

Thumbs up. Very well done with super colours.

Superb work, and great that it was recognized with an award. I too love the paint color. Stunning!

NICE !!!

Great looking car and most importantly a Ford with a Ford...
