junkyardjeff Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Picked it up already started and only the body was done and will try to do the rest of it the same way but the rest of the parts might be different colors to make it look like a project,going to use the frame from a Revell 40 standard and a Y block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
426 pack Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Looks good so far. Great job wethering it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 I did not do the weathering and hope to be able to match it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doggie427 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Looking good so far ,but the ‘37 is 1/24th and the Revell ‘40 is 1/25th. The wheelbase might not quite line up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The wheelbase might not quite line up. I tried the same idea but they don't line up. It could be made to work but modifying the Revell frame won't be easy.

junkyardjeff Posted December 17, 2017 Author Share Posted December 17, 2017 Its starting to look like something now,actually the wheelbase is not too far off and those era of cars seemed to have the rears not centered. added some brush primer where I sanded through to the white.

Sledsel Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 Love the choice of a Y Block Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted December 25, 2017 Author Share Posted December 25, 2017 The regular Y block exhaust manifolds hit the firewall and since no one makes the big truck Y block rams horn manifolds I had to use them from a sbc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
