AMT 1940 Ford Dirt Track Car Model Kit

 

1940 Ford dirt car

 

 

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.
