41CHEVY

I agree with Harry, but as for the stance, I would lower the nose a touch to bring the front fender linse closer to level. Other wise looks like it will be cool! Paul

one word..... WOW!!!!!!!!!! Paul

Got the plans today, they are GREAT!!! I'll be glad to return favor any time. Thanks again ,PAUL

Trailer wise, all that were mentioned but lets add a STECCO (?) demo trailer and a 'b' 61 or 81 Mack.The b 61 was the first one I ever drove, no Air no brakes.... Wheeee! Air assist steering , Air start and a Quad box. Paul

Yeah they did! I have a 41 Chevy rag top , I think the 41 to 48 GM's had the combo right. I photo shopped the bed ...you're right kills the look. Paul

Great rig, what rear body? Paul

Nice job so far. One thought, with a false floor you could raise the bed so the top is even with the cab character line. leave the fenders down where they belong , with a filler between the bed bottom and the chassis. Just a thought. Paul

Happy birthday and great looking civic!! Brakes look really good too. Paul

GREAT JOB !! Lets see more of the truck too!!! Paul

How about a fairlyeasy one ERTL! (hint hint ) a modern ready mix PLEASE? Paul

Here are 3 Sterling Aseries, L series cab forward & Acetera. Paul

I sent Revell, Revell of Germany ( they are seperate now ) ERTL and Italeri a suggestion that if we cannot get new kits, how about "parts packs tractor upgrades" or customizing kits like Revell did for pick ups in the mid 70's. Paul

It is the straight 6 from the kit ,with aluminum valve cover and tri power fronm the Galaxie 1948 Chevy kit and the split dual exhaust from the Revell 1953 Corvette kit . 6=8 Paul

If Italeri or Revell listen ,they could easily do a Sterling off one of there Ford kits . Paul

I agree about looking right,but sometimes I get mule headed ! Did anyone try moving the bumper forward with spacers? It's to late for mine. Paul

I lowered the bumper ..after playing with modified hinges,popping off the cab and sleeper. Nothing worked. I always thought I was the screw up. NOT revell!! Paul

I tried thie to relace rivets on an Italeri Western Star, a dulled point on a tooth pick (how much you flatten the point ,makes the rivet bgger or smaller ) touch the tooth pick to a medium thickness super glue and touch it where you want a rivet. It takes a few times to master it, but the end result works. Paul

I tried many things but the Mylar looked the best. Thanks for the compiment. Paul

This was a fun build...No detail parts at all.I just wanted to do a no thought , no stress model. Kind of a late 60's early 70's home built East Coast coupe. tri power 348 from 58 chevy , 3 speed stick , Camaro high back bucket seats , east coast channel job and zeed chassis and the tire of choice for my age group.... Indy style WIDE! Paul

This is the Revell 41 chevy with the Galaxie wheels ,tirers and caps. The Galaxie speed equipment on motor . Paint is GM Forest Green metallic, black fenders and pale green stripe. kind of a gentleman farmers truck. Paul

This is from the latest Ertl reissue. Tamiya Mica red over Silver base, pearl clear. Interior and half top are Tamiya pearl white and clear red accents. White walls from parts box.The hood trim is a Mylar tape from R/C boat kit. Paul

KOOL!!!!!!!! Paul

heres a pic of one, look at Tester Auto Lacquer # 28129 Dodge Gts Blue , its close to Landy's Dodge and Ronnie Sox Plymouth. Paul Cheshire

April 1967 Rod and Custom did aspread on an Allison power BMW ISETTA , called ALSETTA saw it run once at national Speedway on Long Island WOW!!!!!!!! Paul Cheshire

Rod and Custom had a high boy of the month contest in the late 60's for those style street freaks, I recall you got a years subscription and a 50 dollar bill for the tallest from ground to center of head lights. Here is one of my gassers 292 6 cylinder powered!! Paul
