Illusionizt Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 For my one of my summer projects i'm going to be creating a '41 Chevy pickup street rod. I'm pulling an LS1 out of a 35th anniversary Camaro. I'm going to try to get it where the stance is really low and aggressive... I will give updates further into the model.

mnwildpunk Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 There is a great tutorial in the tips and tricks on how to open up the 41 grille and make it look a 100% better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Illusionizt Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Got it painted. Really like the way it ended up. I used some sandpaper to roughen up the body. Couldn't use the LS1 so I chose a small block chevy 350. It looks very good. I got the truck to almost lay on the ground. (Not in the photo) will add more photos in the next few days...

Illusionizt Posted July 1, 2014 Author Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Finally got her done! Love the way she turned out! Looks like a rat/street rod. Just like what I was going for! In the next week or two I have another project which I can't wait to do! I've got a '70 challanger and a '66 nova and all kinds of models I can't wait to get done! I hope you all enjoyed this build! The next few projects I'll try to go a little deeper in detail. But anyways thanks for looking have a good night!
