AMT 1940 Ford Dirt Track Car Model Kit

 

1940 Ford dirt car

 

This is an An AMT 1940 Ford Coupe. I made it into a dirt track car.

I left the fenders off, and made a few modifications, including the tow bar. The glass was left out of the frames. A lot of old track cars use no glass, or chicken wire. Probably for safety reasons to keep the glass off the track during mishaps.

I am not sure if the wheels came with this kit or not, they may be from my parts box. But the steelies get the old car look across.

The model car is painted with Testors Gloss Red, and then sprayed with Testor's Dull Coat to fade it a bit.

The decals are I believe Fred Cady ( or maybe an old J & J offering? I am not sure).

Just about any old car can be made into a dirt car, and you don't have to make it a perfect build. Just have fun with it.

If you really ant to go the distance, dirty the car up with some mud, scratches, maybe a bent body.

 

In 1940, Ford sold 33,693 2-door standard coupes. At a price of around $ 660.00 each.

The weight of a new 1932 Ford was only 2763 lbs.
