If ya gotta go I cannot see why not a FORD? After all, You ain't gonna know the difference now, are ya? besides with all the cushioning in the box yer in, is going to result in a fine ride anyway!

Certainly not a 'custom' one sees everyday.

Great work! Yes Yes Yes

Very nice. I'm not familliar with R&R but that sounds like limited run garage kit problems. Regardless looks like you tackled the issues. Nice finish on a subject we certainly don't see very often. Well done.

Thanks,

John

This is an old R&R transkit. Its supposed to fit the AMT ford Sedan delivery, but when I put my old one with is, the hood didn't fit the fenders, and was a touch to wide for the body, so I cut the front fenders off my old AMT kit. Maybe it was supposed to fit the Revell 40 ford. Who knows.

The trans kit came with extended fenders, body extended interior tub and chassis and rear door. The rest, you have to find a donor.

It went together ok, except for the hood issue. Not a bad effort from the sometime dreaded former R&R.
