Coca-Cola '40 Ford Opera Coupe

[virgil]

This is my 3rd build finished for the year. I got some sun today, so here are the pics. I hope you like it. I know the vent windows are gone, but they got messed up, and i threw them away...... It fought me the whole way going together, and i was soooo happy to put it in a display case LOL.











Thank you,
Virgil

That's pretty cool. Is that the AMT or the Lindberg version? I have heard that the Lindberg version is a bear to build. Nice job!!!

Is that the AMT or the Lindberg version?

Louie, it is the AMT kit. The lindberg kit was molded in hot pink, and the grille was different. The lindberg kit was a 3, or 4-n-1 kit. The hardest part about it was deciding how you wanted to build it, and eliminate the extra parts so you didnt get them mixed up...LOL.

what colour did you use on the engine?

Kevin, it is a color i mixed up from an engine color chart. I have been told it is too dark, but according to the paint chart for the year of the car, it is close enough to call it good...lol.

Thank you all for the great comments. You make me blush hahahaha!!
