'39 Ford Sportsman Modified

Then mine may not be original. I'll have to dig one up, check Google, and compare. Maybe, I'll try to get that done in the next few days....

Have a couple of the Sedan kits, but wouldn't mind a few more if the price was right.....most are outside of my budget......

Actually, it would be pretty hard to fab one from a 40 dash. One is nearly flat and the other is flat and slightly different. As far as being "correct" I'm with you David. I like detail, but not quite that much. Having said that.......to each his own, build on.

Geesh, if the "correct" dash is that big of a deal, just fab one from a '40 dash. Call me a slacker but the next time I trash a build because the dash might be a year off will be the first time.

Now that you mention it, David, I might just trash my '32 Jalopy sedan build. I think maybe the Pony tire is a bit too small. Or maybe the right front slick is just a hair too big. I can't decide.

And, I look forward to the finished product, Rett.

As I said, mostly scratch built, '41 truck motor, tri-carbs, tires and wheels out of my stash. What cha see is what ya get. Really enjoyed building this one.(for a change, things went together pretty well. (For me)

WOW! That turned out super.  Reminds me of the days when I saw these types of cars race at Jefferson speedway.  I remember seeing one parked at a house back when I was just a pup this one had no fenders and I don't know what engine was in it but I saw nothing but sheer beauty.  I've always thought I would like to trey to mimic one in scale. As for the correct 39 dash like OND said that ERC made one for his 39 coupe.  My wife got me that kit and yes it is a correct 39 dash.  Several years ago Bill Coulter did an article in either SAE or Model Cars of an after market company that did some parts  for the Monogram 40 pickup truck.  I will research and see what I can find and get back with you guys.
