Title: 1949 Ford Coupe. Early NASCAR Modified Sportsman
Post by: slim on September 09, 2017, 04:40:03 PM
had three of these kits when they first came out. Built a racing team out of them in '62. Now I finally built another. Really a nice build for its age, the Caddy V8 was perfect, kit had a roll cage, and had some really nice piecrust slicks and whitewall cheater slicks! Here is how it turned out. Hope ya like it!

Got them resized now, sorry about that. Believe it or not I am still using Photo bucket for the resizing. Fotki is a little weird for that. I will adjust my camera, next time!

NICE!  Another great looking build with an awesome "vintage-looking" color scheme.   8)

I've got a '49 Ford body around somewhere and this give me ideas.
