Lovefordgalaxie Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 The 1940 Ford Standard was only available in Black, Lyon Blue, and Cloudmist Gray. All colors could have the wheels painted in any color as long as it was black, or if one wanted to spend more asking for the extra cost color matching wheels. So, I was "forced" (haha) to paint my car black, so the wheels would match the body. My original intent was to delete the wide whitewalls, as few Deluxe cars had them, and they were almost non existent on Standard cars (you had to pull more cash from your pocket, and adding those things turned the Standard into a less attractive deal), but I like whitewalls enough to have paid for them, so whitewalls she has. Didn't care for the mirrors Monogram included with the kit, so I left they out. The car was painted with automotive grade enamel, and all detail paint was done with Acrilex acrylics. Foil is home made. It's a box stock build with the exception of a chrome exhaust tip, and welting on the fenders. Front and rear. The kit has a few problems, like the Deluxe Convertible upholstery pattern on the seat and interior sides, plus the Deluxe dash decal instead of the correct Standard decal. Fixed the decal, left the interior the way it came. Was not in the mood to sand it all, and make it correct. Maybe the next one. Hope you guys like her. 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr 1940 Ford Standard Business Coupe by CCCP Digital Studio, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted November 24, 2017 Share Posted November 24, 2017 I still marvel at your Black Paint Jobs. I enjoy the way you always strive for accuracy in your builds. Few even realize that the Standard only had the one tail light or that the headlight rings were painted. This is a great addition to your Ford collection.

I can only dream of paint jobs like that. By the way, is there some room in your shed? We had a dump of snow overnight. I could move in for a few months.

Will focus on Ford cars from now on. This year I only built Fords. Wow!! Thanks!!! Me too. I can only dream of paint jobs like that. By the way, is there some room in your shed? We had a dump of snow overnight. I could move in for a few months. Sunny and hot now. Almost Summer. Very, very nice. Of course.
