My idea of a Hot Rod Ford.

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Thanks again guys. 

Kerry, Donald, Bruce, Steve, and Karl, thanks a lot my friends. 

If your skills improve any more you'll be building museum pieces!  Great models and outstanding photography as usual.

Almost fell from the chair reading this. Thank you!!

Less is more right? It looks great,super clean and shiny,.

[the_Killerado]

Wow that looks totally real! Maybe a real car would look less shiny... but that's just saying your car has really good finnish. To me that looks absolutely real. Stunning job!!

[RAMBENNA]

excellent build , very nice work

Another classy and beautiful build, Tulio.

That's very well done and the black paint is perfect. Just about like a 1:1 I would like to have, just in maroon. Looking at this inspired me to order the 48 coupe and some honduras maroon paint.

This one was done in Manson Maroon, a stock FoMoCo color for 1947/1948

Stock interior, stock suspension, but some period bolt on power under the hood.

if I can find another i'll buy it. I would like to have a complete kit for my stash. When I build a kit, I always have another of the same for when my skills improve. 

When your skills improve?   I wish I had a tenth of your crazy skills.   Total works of art.   Love your Fords.

[Ron Hamilton]

Both of those are great Tulio!!!

[bamadon]

Now that's what I'm talking about. It's like you read my mind. Did you do a build thread on that one?

[carrucha]

Good job.  I really like the black paint job.  Very slick.

Thanks. No I didn't. I was concentrated on building the convertible, and this one was being build as s side project.

I honestly don't see how your skills could improve Tulio.... but I'll take your word on it...!    lol 

Really ... You do outstanding work and it's always a pleasure to see your builds...!

Nice job on this one...!

[Modelbuilder Mark]

Very nice,  you always do such clean work. 

[Robberbaron]

Tulip, really like this one a lot.  Just what I would want as a 1:1.  Close to stock, just some tasteful and subtle improvements...

[Lovefordgalaxie]

Thanks!!

I'm not really a Hot Rod fan, but can "dig" a car that is faster and handles better than 100% stock. 

Never the less, I only do mods that can be reversed to stock. So, no butchered tops, no body changes, etc. Things that would be hard to reverse.

My own driver, the old '74 Galaxie is not stock. 

She has the original engine, but with more compression heads, a Isky cam, a four barrel intake, and a Autolite 4100 in place of the stock two barrel carburetor. 

Also have 6 inch wide wheels with Firestone Wide Ovals (F-70X15) in place of the stock 5 inch wheels and 7,75X15 tires. 

In place of the full wheel covers I have a set of dog dishes. 

The car can be all stock again in a weekend if I desire to do so. 

I tried to use the same way of thinking on the '48 Sedan Coupe. The hardest thing to redo in stock form would be the interior, but nothing some paint and the original upholstery won't do.
