Community Build #6 75th Anniversary of the 1940 Ford

Both look great and great color on both builds

Hey DUDE! You painted your windshields!

Very cool looking satin black/silver combo.

Well there has not been much progress of late, just reversals.

About 3 weeks ago I was doing the foiling on both bodies when the paint started coming of the 'vert, so it's toast. No such problems with the SD. Both had the same preperation, just can't get paint to stick to any revell body made in the last 15 years. This modern Revell plastic is crap.


Then last week I was taking the SD outside to get some sunlight pics of the metallic silver paint, when I went ass over head down the stairs, result was one of the repaired body cracks opened up and gave my back a hell of a tweak.

So I decided to start fresh with a new body that I got from Sam.

Possible jalopy? Might be something to do with the old body.


Still need to make new door hinges and a couple of tweaks before I start painting. Actually as Winter has well & truly set now, painting maybe on hold for some time.

Sorry to hear about your fall Steve, I hope you are OK.

You know, a Jalopy SD would look good!!

Sorry about the fall, hope all is well with you. SD is looking good.

Thanks guys, luckily I had my back brace on and it took most of the impact.

Finally got around to making the new door hinges.

Neat work Steve.

Great looking hinges, Steve.

Ah so, I see what you mean about hinges.  I was wondering.  Take care of your health. In addition to yourself, we want progress on models, stay well!!!

Finally got around to finishing of the exhaust








Just waiting for winter to ef off so I can spray some bodies.

Don't you just hate molded in exhausts!!!

Neat painting Steve.

Got it in final colours.







Tamiya satin black, Gunzi Mr.Color Spray - Semi-Gloss IJN Green.


Now to start on the interior.

Like Steve, I am still plodding away with this one now that I have a place to work. A LOT rusty at the bmf. lol, but the fender assemble is finished and the body is close. Here is a mock up.

What a beauty Sam. Looks great from here.

The panel van is looking sharp Steve..... any updates?

I don't see anything wrong with the BMF Sam..... it all looks good from here.

You guys are encouraging, Buck needs new eyes and Al lives across the ocean, so when you say "it looks good FROM HERE".......

Looks great Sam Which reminds me to find the 40 SD and finish it also

See, Al, I told you he'd catch on to us.

Nice look to it in satin, Steve.

I like that shade of red, Sam.

Thanks guys.

I was able to spend quite a bit of time at the bench this past weekend. The chassis is finished in basic blacks with exhaust and fuel tank highlighted. Engine has distributor wiring, but is wired to the correct firing order, which is a first for me. Also a first is fuel lines.

Nice work Sam. Great looking hot rod.
