1949 ford custom coupe

[HOLMES55]

Not really a fan of this body style but wanted to use the Cadillac engine and the tires in this kit for another project and make some room on my shelf. If you want to build a stock version the chrome will probably have to be stripped ans cleaned up. I used some wheels from a die cast I had and the hubcaps are furniture tacks that I added. I removed the wing window and the divider on the front window and filed off the door handles,windshield wipers and the trunk hinges. I added a different carb and made air filter on the engine. I wanted to leave it in primer and could not find a good flat black.

I like this a lot. Very well done. Nothing like a cool lead sled in primer.

Beautifully done hot rod!

[Yeah Nah]

All the ingredients! Fantastic job.

Clean machine. Nicely done.

The last one I built got out of hand in a big way. Sometimes simpler is the way to go and the primer red looks killer.

I really like the look since I owned one very much like this during my misspent youth. The premiered finish looks good, and the engine has enough detailing to represent a warmed-over Flat Head. The grill area and the rear roll pan are cleanly done. Like the wheels and tires. Great idea for the hub caps.

Really the primer look! Nice mild custom!
