AMT 1940
Ford Dirt Track Car Model Kit

| |
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. 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.
It
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?
)
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.

and Dirt Car Racing models
In
1940, Ford sold 33,693 2-door standard coupes. At a price
of around $ 660.00 each. The weight of the car was only 2763
lbs.
