Henry Ford's heritage traces back to King Henry VIII - the Tudor king. There were bridge builders and water crossing makers that Henry used during war. Those folks were called "forders". King Henry had a favorite fording group and awrded them a Tudor Peerage giving them them the family name of Ford. Henry Ford also built cars in England. As a celebration of his family heritage, he named several car designs "Tudor" - this is one of them. True story. Chris, I loved your choices on this build - thanks for sharing.
Exceptional work. And - it's great that you mention scale (straight in the title of the video) in all your works. I'm about to work on a some Dioramas, where the central motif will be just Hot/Rat Rods, all in 1/24 scale, and your work is very informative and, ov course too, inspirational to me. Many thanks.
another good build-- if I remember correctly the spare running board was part of a double kit called "diamond in the rough"--never bought the kit but it contains(if I remember correctly) this kit with a different fender assembly with the right front and running board removed it also consisted of the 53 ford pickup and the four wheel utility trailer(oops thats the car hauler trailer)
The 39 had the wipers above the windshield to accommodate the crank out windshield. The 40 had sealed beam headlights and vent windows, along with a different grille. The 39 was floor shift, the 40 was column shifted. Love the Olds engine. Cool kit.
I don't normally build cars from this era but I did build the Sedan Delivery version of this kit many years ago and loved it. I love all the custom options available in this particular release and I'm sure that second engine will come in handy for another build or even for display purposes, like putting it in the bed of a pickup.
Wow, just lovely results! Thanks for blazing a trail. I would buy two kits for a simultaneous build, one of a 1939 model, the other of a 1940 version; showroom new, stock, original parts and paint. I do not know what the actual body colour options would be (I would not risk a close bungle); black can be good, though I would like a bit of variety.
Cool build. I built a stock version of the 1940 Ford back in 2020. I showed the picture on your Facebook page. It goes together quite nicely from what I remember.
Another great build. The MPC '76 Chevy Caprice with Trailer kit also includes the "Barn Finds Restoration" decals with purple script and a yellow hot rod.
Wish AMT had included a set of wide whitewall tires in the kit. It would have made for a nice classy stock build. Otherwise, beautiful build and review Chris! Rock on Brother 😁!
Hmmm…..Chris, I take it that the Oldsmobile engine in the kit has the J2 setup out of the ‘50’s you showed? That there alone is worth the price of admission, because I can think of a number of cars that could go into. ✌🏾
Hi Chris, that was a excellent build and your paint finish was spot on, congratulations on a job well done, one question if I may, couldbthis be used as a 1940 era Police Car? Best regards from Australia
Built one years ago, but the kit is light on detail. I got tired of the look so I cut down the body for use as a vintage modified on the excellent MPC chassis from the Ridge Runner kit. Cheers, y'all!
Chris, I've been watching your videos for most of the last year (mostly for the music) nah...just kidding, have picked up a lot of new techniques from you after nearly a seven decade absence from the hobby. One of the things that has me wondering is, the speed with which you build. You use a LOT of enamels, i.e. RustO, Krylon, Testors or whatever it seems the HDW has on their shelf. It's been my experience that although the modern enamels 'set up' enough to touch or handle (lightly) in a couple of hours, they actually take a good week or more to fully cure. I use a food dehydrator at 120°f for all of my paint once it's set up and will cook it for, sometimes a couple of days. Still, enamel paints are not fully oxidized by heat. I also see you use Tamiya washes on the uncured RustO 2x and I find the they will wash out those enamels even after curing for a few days. What's you secret???? Tks Denny G, Sandwich, IL p.s. Oh....and what is that crazy black tape that you use for masking??? dg
If I order it I'll order it just because of the 2 engines an use the 2 sets of wheels an tires an use the body a part's for experiencing with painting an for the part's box
@@williamwagaman9538 oh--trivia time--the old trophy series had motors that were interchangeable with minor work--the roadster had a Chrysler, the coupe had the Buick, the sedan and sedan delivery had the Olds, the 34 pickup had a Ford, the Vicky and the Phaeton had a different Ford, and the model t double kit had a Lincoln--there may be more but my old decrepit mind can only remember those--they all use the same motor mounts and the same transmission--oh almost forgot the 36 Ford kits had a Pontiac

I like them better as the Fat Fendered Ford!
The surname of King Henry was Tudor.
@@DavidRLentz-b7i Yes - as I stated. Thank you.

Very clean build. Nice color choices. So many options with this classic kit. Thanks for sharing.

I like the shape of these older cars - you did a great build. Thanks.

Looks sweet. That color combo is very cool 😎
That’s a great kit! A must have, I enjoyed it when I built the original in the day. Looks great Chris!!! Thanks for the review. 😎

What an awesome job Chris as always an thanks for the time you put into are videos thank 👍🏻👍🏻
Very nice build 👌. Absolutely love the 40s cars!!
It looks sick, I would have left the hood off to show that beautiful motor. 😎
This is a pretty cool kit. Im going to have to order one now. Nice job as always.
Looks really nice!

Great job Chris another great build thank you for sharing
These are cars I've always liked Great job Chris
Very nice. I like the flat head engine, and the video and review is great. Keep up the great work and have a great day.
1939 Ford custom Tudor hot rod a very classic car. Outbreak of the second world war

My 37 Ford truck bumper brackets was the same way .they was lose in bag.hope u fine them .thanks for sharing
Wish AMT had included a set of wide whitewall tires in the kit. It would have made for a nice classy stock build.
Otherwise, beautiful build and review Chris! Rock on Brother 😁!
Great build👍A lot of these same parts are in the AMT coke-cola ‘40 Ford
Hmmm…..Chris, I take it that the Oldsmobile engine in the kit has the J2 setup out of the ‘50’s you showed? That there alone is worth the price of admission, because I can think of a number of cars that could go into. ✌🏾
Looks cool.
Nice 😅
Nice job! Where do you storage all your finished jobs? Maybe you can show in a future video

Thoughts and prayers for the Touch n Tone grey primer.
LOL, right?

that car remind me christmas story
Can you make a video of where you display these you've made probably over 1,000 videos
I only have a few on display, many are given away to people in my area that like the subject or stored.

Don't know what you did, but those headlights shine in whatever light you are using, Great paint job! But... no skirts? I'll see myself out. :)
If I order it I'll order it just because of the 2 engines an use the 2 sets of wheels an tires an use the body a part's for experiencing with painting an for the part's box
What glue do you use for glass?
Chris uses either Mod Podge gloss or Aleene's tacky glue. Both work extremely well.
I sure miss the AMT gray plastic... from when these kits were first offered.
Sorry first offered in black. The 36 first offered in gray.
This kit could also be built as a 40 Ford sadan

Hello hello that is a buick
that is in fact an Olds--the Buick was in the coupe kit
@@tedharris8659 Thank you for the correction We are all a bunch of dummies out here every once in a while

First!
I had never liked that model, so I will not build it 😊
