I finally got done with this today. I tell ya what..this is a really nice body, but it's kinda "fun" putting it together with the AMT kit. The thing is...it's not gonna sit this low without some work, so you have been warned. Painted Oriental Kandy Blue, Modelhaus shoes.

'40 Ford done right!
John Goschke built this beauty. The sharp lines in the scallops (which are painted on) , to the detailed engine compartment make this one stick out from the rest!

All Hopped Up
Got done with my second restoration of the AMT '25 Ford Model T Coupe. These kits are so cool! I am glad they are being reissued so I can build more for less money! (Shiney one is new finished)

My day was made
First of all the AMT '40 Ford Coupe has to be one of my favorite vintage issued kits. I like the box art a bunch and really I have never seen a 100% built box art model until today. Ron S. , a TRaK member built the car exactly like the old box art. This is not the easiest task ok....the kit was issued in 1960 I think. Decals would not be any good, so he had to have either made new ones himself or bought some after markets which are hard to find. No matter what, it's nice to see one built like this. (missing skirts, but who cares)
Another cool version of the car was on the side of the box. As shown is the side box art built by Dave Charlton. This stuff is really neat! Anyone can build a vintage kit..but I really dig seeing them done like this. Old school to the core!

The right color
Here is the second '25 T that I am restoring from a glue bomb. I just didn't like the first color, but after some debating and advice from friends at "Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale" , I was able to make up my mind. Thanks guys!
The color I didn't like was the Deep Jewell Green. Not only did I see some ugly blemishes that needed rescued, but the white top was TOO bright on that color. I am sticking with the Mystical Marroon.
