FORD 1938 RAT ROD

At this time, I’m started from a Ford coupe 1940 by Motor Max diecast 1/24,the model was poor in details and with some errors, the grille incorrect as the bucket seats and custom steering wheels, and front lights

 
For this I’ve used the salt chipping method for give a realistic wheatered aspect at the body car (green painted), then I’ve modified the front with a new grille that arrive long the engine scoop and put the new wheatered chromed details, modified the front lights
 
 
I’ve disassembled completely the car, I’ve prepared a new engine (ford 427 supercharged ) for change the flatehead positioned under the hood…during the work I thought… why no try to prepare a rat rod? I thought of the model of ford that was closer to the model and I thought of the 38 '
Inside I’ve change everything now there’s a bench seat new door panel new banjo steering wheels and I’ve build a new dashboard (aluminum made). I’ve also put new interior coverings like the carpet

 
I've change the windshield with  trim opening, I’ve prepared also the trunk with carpet and interiors details.

 
New large and loud exhaust pipes appear under the body rear’s.
 
I’ve change the wheels with others steel made and different tires rear/front .
 
eliminated bumpers for get more aggressive look.


my intention it has been have a junk car...but with a hidden power.
