AMT 37 Chevy Coupe

[jdhog]

This is my first WIP post in quite some time.

My version of the AMT 37 Chevy Coupe.  I brought the body to work with me this morning to lay down the BMF.  I really wish the lighting in my office showed the paint better.  The paint is Createx Pearl Green with Rustoleum Clear Gloss Top Coat.  

I filled in the back and decided to go bumperless.  I think I'll french in some tail lights.  I lowered the suspension and am going to go with whitewalls and chrome steelies.  Not sure on the motor yet.  I might pull something out of a late model Vette.

Thanks for taking a look

Beautiful paint job. I wish I could have found a job where I could work on a model.

Me too!  I should have said that I was working on it during breaks and lunch.  

 

Here's a mock-up of what I'm going for.

Thanks for the comments.

Disaster struck yesterday.  When I first started the model, there was a terrible sprue scar on the center-line of the hood.  I ended up sanding it down and gluing the two halves together and filling.  I was painting the underside of the hood when my glue job broke.  The model came with an extra one piece hood molded in clear.  I got it painted up this morning.  I think it will do the job.

 

I think I am going to use the Pontiac 421 engine out of the Revell Parts Pack.
