Got a box load of bodies from Bob the resin builder
Here is his new casting A 49 Ford Tuder
First off is scale, this car is spot on 1\32, nice thin casting very sharp and slick
this was a hurry job on the trimming and I shot a coat of primer just for photos
lots more sanding and cleaning but I just had to share

thx Bob just 1 more car we wanted and you gave it to us :text-bravo:

Looks good. It actually looks like a 51. No wing window and a strait grill surround instead of the "BULLET" grill

Looking great Jon! I was hoping to get to see that baby while in progress.
I found out today, that the Carrera Chevelle chassis is a dead ringer for these cars. Wheelbase and track are spot on, only needs a wheel change to get looking good.
And thanks for the Kudo's Jon, I am learning as I go.

Some of that is my fault, the vent wing post is made on the glass on the original die cast car, so I could not replicate it. we will have to make our own if we want them. But if we cut them all into stockers, who cares! :D

Nothing like that just the different pic of it caught the grill surround just rite to hide the bullet
Still is a great car. Probably one of my favorites of all times next to the Model A two door coach and the 36 Ford 5 Window Coupe
