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

Check the Wal-Mart nearest you that has models. If they still have AMT display cases, they had a really good deal on them. Might be worth checking Wal-Mart.com, too.

I have a bunch of cases from Hobby Lobby. I think they're from Pioneer Plastics.

I also have a wall display case.

I believe they are. Those are also nice cases. Very well-made.

Hey Jim, no need to be sad. your build looks very good and fits to "those days". I built that kit recently and had the same impression. Too bad an instruction sheet, parts not fitting etc. No kit for a beginner but for someone willing to cut, sand and putty. The up side is you have many parts left for other builds.

Thanks, Andreas.

Never crossed my mind to do one of these stock but you sure nailed this one. Excellent work!

[carrucha]

Cool build.  Looks good built factory stock.

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys.

Great build, very nicel done!

[ewetwo]

I think I looks really nice.

Looking really good! I like the color which is a good representation of the Regatta red that was available on the ‘37 Chevy.

 I have the AMT  37 Chevy Wildfire kit, which probably is pretty much the same kit as this. I plan to build it stock, too. That way I’ll have the hot rod parts to use later.

Looks great!!

[Sledsel]

Looks good. Shocked you had fit issues. I've built some of these without issue.

[Jim B]

Thanks, guys.  I appreciate the comments.

@SledselLet's just say that the fit on the kit lived up to AMT's nickname - Almost There.

Love the 37 Chevy.  I built 37 Cabriolet version in exactly the same color with chrome reverse wheels and a 409.  Had body-frame warpage problems with mine.  The boys at AMT couldn't seem to get their parts to fit right for some reason, but they did make a nice stovebolt for this one .

Thanks, LM.  Despite its faults, it looks ok on the shelf.  It's definably not going to win any contests!

Yes, the Stovebolt in this kit is quite nice.
