49 by Dave Mikrut

In the early 1960’s Rod & Custom ran a series of two articles by Don Emmons on how to section an AMT 1949 Ford. I wanted to follow the article exactly as he built it, and I did to a point, but just as I am never able to build a kit right from the box, I had to deviate from the articles. One major thing was using a AMT Thunderbird interior, and also a different grille treatment, wheels and tires and aluminum tubing exhaust pipes. I also used a modified Revell Big Daddy Roth Outlaw engine. The flame decals are made on my home inkjet printer.
