To be brutally honest......
The '40 Ford is bit before my time.....
Your build looks great...I did judge it with the pictures provided utilizing an A.M.P.S judging tally sheet from our clubs show last fall...for whats its worth....as you requested it.
CONSTRUCTION
Body work: No obvious flaws....looks exactly like it should for that era of stock car.
Basic running gear & drive train: All four tires are in contact with the ground, front tires posed facing the same
direction. Correct tires,wheels and rear axle for this type of build.
Chassis detailing: Since I can't get up close to the build, I judged what I can see. Correct style of roll cage for this
era of build.
Scratch-built detailing: Correct style of mud screens and grill screen frame. Correct style of front and rear
bumpers.
FINISH/WEATHERING
Finish and markings: Presuming that this is what you where trying to show as far as the car has not been raced
yet....fresh gloss paint and bright numbers. Drivers side and rear deck lid numbers need a
little more decal solvent to get rid of the craze and get it to sit down to the body contour...it
can still be applied.
Weathering: Noticed some areas of a lighter shade of Brown on a couple of the wheels and a fender....Im guessing
some very subtle weathering???
Finish continuity: Looks great....can't see any obvious errors or mistakes.
DIFFICULTY
Degree of difficulty: Any time you take a kit and build it different than it was kitted, the degree of difficulty goes
up. Since you didn't say which kit this is, I'm guessing that it was not kitted as you built it, I
could be wrong. An example would be originally kitted as a stock or slightly modified hot rod
version of a '40 Ford that you have built into a stock car.
