First of all, i apologize for changing my mind twice  i decided to wait on my '49 Ford so i could build it at the same time as another couple friends. So here it is....... this car is a built up from back in the day some kid cut out the rear wheel openings rather crappy like. (i didn't expect anything else) the kit came with "flares" that you mount on the inside of the body when you cut the wheel wells open for drag slicks. the point is to put them on and putty around them to make them look "flared". i have put the plastic flares in and primed the body. all i need to do is putty them up and i can shoot paint! i have not done anything to the rest yet. this is the original box and it will look like this   |

I think the very best thing about this build is that you are actually building a kit as old as this one is. Most guys would never think of building a kit as old as this but that is what they made for. The car looks fantastic! I can't wait to see it finished.

Mo thanks Bobby! thanks ! i agree and i have more old ones that will get built too. i don't want to start a subject, but it pleasures me to build expensive models that would otherwise sit around for eternity in someone's colllection lol thanks again guys! ;D |

Looking good Bob. Wheels look nice. thank you! Before anyone says it......yea I know the black strip has some orange peel. I rubbed through the clear to the black on the other side and luckily it polished out so it's not noticeable. I said to heck with them areas because I didn't want to repaint and decal again. So with that said all is polished accept the black stripes above the belt line. How many inches?  |
