1949 Ford Coupe

[Chuck Most]

AMT " '49'er" kit with a 1956 312 Y Block, parts box tires, and Gopher Racing decals. I was going for a long forlorned early 60s style low buck hot rod that's only recently been dragged out of hibernation. 

[Supernurd]

Cool!  ?

Love the "ridden hard and put away wet look." Looks like it may have been parked near the coast and facing west.

Love this! Very creative and realistic feeling.

[Yeah Nah]

Amazingly convincing finish on this! Hard to tell from the real thing.

[Street Rod]

That’s a great looking hot rod! Your weathering looks very realistic.

Not normally a fan of the 40s and 50s era cars but this one has me rethinking my position on them. Absolutely gorgeous build!

Mission accomplished. It has exactly the feel and look you were seeking. Nice modeling.

This torn out ex racer has it´s best days long gone. You did a great job on the rust and patina! Could it still drive in real life????

[happy grumpy]

Stunning rust work. I like the missing bumper.
