AMT 1937 Chevrolet Master Business Coupe

[Jim B]

After watching Chris' (hpiguy's) video on this kit,

 

I hemmed & hawed about it for a while, but I eventually pulled the trigger.  I liked the idea of being able to build an everyday car.  Nothing fancy.  No big engine or drag tires.  Just a car.  Do I did.  The fit ranged from pretty poor to bad, but it's an AMT kit so I'm not surprised.  The body color is Tamiya Maroon TS-11 and the interior is Tamiya Light Sand TS-46.  The build is completely box stock, with the Michigan Historical License Plate being the only thing added.  I'd like to say that the build was enjoyable, but it really wasn't.  Oh, well.  You have those every so often.  Going from a Tamiya kit to an AMT kit probably wasn't such a good idea either.  Anyway, I'm glad it's done & on the shelf.

Stovebolt 6:

Onward & upward!

I like it, nice to see one stock.

[Jim B]

Thanks, Craig.

Love the old fat fendered cars.  Great color choice.  I like the Stovebold tag on the front.

[Jim B]

Thanks, Bob. I thought that maroon was appropriate for the year of the car. The Stovebolt Car Club plaque comes with the kit, and I thought it would look good on a "restoration".

Never built one stock. Yours looks excellent.

Great to see a subject from this era built as a stock build. The color does suite it well.

Thanks, David.

Looks, good! I finished the Cabriolet last month, so I know your pain of building one of these kits.

[Jim B]

Thanks, Tim. Yes, it was an exercise in frustration at times.

This one, from what I understand, can be a challenge, but you did it right.

The maroon fits well, and the car looks very real, right down to the blackwalls.

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate it.  I think the maroon fits as well, but it sure is a dust magnet!
