This was a relatively straight-forward project until I got into it.  There are nice 1941 and 1948 Ford wagon kits, so a conversion to a ’40 was going to be simple .  However, the rear fenders changed from ’40 to ’41, so I took the alternative, which was to convert a metal street-rod kit body back to stock using more than 60 of the kit parts.

Things that worked – dry brushing the woodgrain and scratchbuilt interior, crisp whitewalls against red paint.  Things that didn’t work – clunky headlights and, after hours of fitting, the hood is still a bit wobbly.   This one still needs some work.
