crazyjim Posted September 13, 2009 Posted September 13, 2009 Been raining most of the day so I was able to complete my '49 Ford that's rattle can Testor's Deja Blue with 2 coats of Model Car Wax. Headlights & taillights frenched; rolled pans front & rear; Chrysler grill insert; wheels/tires from some other kit; BMF; flocked interior w/ bucket seats and console from the parts bin, polished aluminum steering column w/turn signal lever; kit engine w/tri-power, fishing line used for fuel lines; center windshield post removed.
Sixties Sam Posted September 14, 2009 Posted September 14, 2009 Nice, clean build! I love the '49's! The chrome side strip really looks good. It breaks up that big slab side nicely! Great! Sam

Anit looks good too on multiple carbs into a fule block. I'm told there's other colors but I haven't gone out shopping yet.
voljeepx Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Shoebox Fords are very cool, and the good part about 'em is no matter what you do to 'em, they still look good! Color and stance on yours is great!
crazyjim Posted September 17, 2009 Author Posted September 17, 2009 Thank you for the positive feedback fellas. My head is swelling. Actually, I just try to do the very best I can on every model. My mind says do one thing but I don't have the abilities to do some of the things I'd like, so I just keep plugging along. But thank you again.
