Blown03SVT Posted July 23, 2013 Share Posted July 23, 2013 I expect this kit will be a knock out the the aero sedan. Looks great in the pictures! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted July 24, 2013 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I do like what I seeing. This goes on the "get" list, absolutely without question. I'll have all three- and I can do one each 1946-47-48 car. Works for me. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 What's the deal on the wood applique shown on the Fleetline in post 63? Is that aftermarket, or included in a release of this kit I don't know about? Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ace....Gary is redoing the Sedan kit with the lower trim series (getting rid of the metal transfers, and adding appropriate series badging on the hood), then adding these optional wood panels. They frames will be separate styrene parts, with the inserts being decals to duplicate the Di-Noc original. Both this modified reissue and the coupe kit should be available in the fall if everything stays on schedule, according to Gary. Here are some photos and commentary on the Coupe test shot I received about six weeks ago.

Ace-Garageguy Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Thank you !! Great news. Sounds like a super addition to a truly great kit. Edited July 26, 2013 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longbox55 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Both are definitely going to be Must-Haves for my collection, possibly even multiples (especially the coupe). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Regarding post #63... Casey, what is the source of those photos? Those are incredible! I think they came from Gary @ Galaxie Ltd., as they were originally posted by Gregg K in Gen Disc IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramfins59 Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 Oh baby...!!! Thanks so very much for this info and pictures Tim. Looks like I'll not only be getting a couple of the coupe kits but also a couple of the redone Sedan kit with the wood trim. I can't wait.

dh1908 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Hey guys, Aren't these body styles similar to the Oldsmobile and Pontiac? I went to Google and it seems those could also be done with some modification? Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to Google and it seems those could also be done with some modification? Just a thought. It's a lot of plastic surgery, but it can be done. The Olds and Pontiac both had longer wheelbases, and a lot of that was in the nose from what I can tell and in addition to the lengthening, would be some re-shaping.

Southern....look closely at the Galaxie '48 Chev body around the leading edge of the front doors (before you adde the front fenders with their extensions....) - yes, the Galaxie Chevies were designed/tooled to support a '41 vintage kit down the road. Let's hope the new '48 Coupe kit sales justify a future investment to tool up the '41. Like you, that's my favorite PreWWII Chevy body style.

charlie8575 Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Add a '40-'41 Chevy coupe and a'40-'46 Studebaker Champion business coupe/sedan to the gasser wish lists The Stude and '41 Chevy would especially be welcomed by a lot of rep-stock builders, too. I think the '41 Chevy is one of the classiest cars of the '40s. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooltas Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 41 chevy would be a killer custom too carsen top? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
38 Crush Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 I like '41's but I really rather have a '40! Hope that's next. Or a '32 or a '33 or a '35 all chevies of course !!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
