I finished this one a few months back. It's probably my best bodywork to date. I chopped the top on this AMT '40 Tudor, leaning the rear panel forward. The next step was to section the body six scale inches. By this time I figured that I may as well go completely batshit on this thing so I did fadeaway, flared fenders all around and graced the front end with frenched headlights and an Edsel grille. Paint is Model Master lacquer Dark Cherry Pearl with silver scallops masked freehand with pinstripe tape. Wheel covers are Model Car Garage aluminum Sombreros. Some of you may have seen this one before on some other forum, but I think it fits this forum particularly well. Check out the pics!

It looks like it was built during the coachbuilt era of the 30s.

This build is outstanding. Very nice kustom work, and your eye for design is right-on!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!

rickcaps55: Thanks Ed i have had this one for a long time got it as a kit that was stared but never got to it i have to say it was on the shelf for the last 15 years i guess it's time to get it going.!!! Jan 22, 2024 14:53:00 GMT -5
