Revell 1940 Ford Pickup

[Nova-ss]

hi All,

I'm working on a Revell kit..but its really the old Monogram kit in 1/24.I don't show a whole of my building..but this one has more pictures on this build.I  want to make a more stock pickup from 1940...but era of 1950 to 55.its going to be a pickup working in the orchards. I have cut out all the plastic in the frame,exhaust,fuel tank and bottom of cab that monogram put in there.I cut out the X member and drilled all the holes for exhaust,wiring and brake,fuel lines.I've start new engine mount for the flathead.working on cab and bed mounts.the new tank is getting done and the rear spring frame mount thinned down.I'm putting the rear axle and front axle from the Revell 37 Ford pickup on this the replace the Monogram one...so much to do..but its fun.thank you for looking..Chris

Ok,so here is the interior door panels.I ground off the detail on the panels and filed,sanded till it was gone.I made new panels more like the real ones.I still have work to do on the panels and the access panel has to be scribed in and either find or make new ones door handles.I'm trying to make this as stock as I can.here is the before and after pictures of the door panels.I sure hope to find a detail set that may have inter handles for the door panels.thank you..Chris

Sorry about the words not showing up.the pictures are of the 40 pickup #2,which the glue bomb pickup.trying to get both trucks to the same point or spot.this is the fuel tank parts.with the top of the tank and the bottom tank parts as well.I still have a hard time understanding how to load pictures with the words.and it all to make sense.making the top and side after cut the tank out on this glue bomb or what I call #2 pickup...the monogram with no top just cause most won't see the top isn't a good readon to leave it out..side I enjoy it...hope those that look understand what I'm doing...thanks to you all...Chris
