Thanks Carl, I'm glad you like it. Thanks Richard. It's a fairly simple kit but there is a lot to work with- a lot of potential. David G.

A couple more photos. Test fitting the nearly completed engine in the chassis. I added plug wires and a fuel line. The kit didn't provide a distributor so I made one. There's also supposed to be a wire guide for the plug wires. I tried a couple of different ways to make one, then decided I could live without it. I just didn't feel like going crazy with the details. I've been working through the photos I've taken. there'll be more soon. Thanks for looking and as always, feel free to comment. David G.

Thanks for that Mike. Very nicely done, but that's waaaaaayyy more work than I put into mine. Did you ever finish it? David G.

Excellent work in spite of the setbacks! You weren't by chance whistling while working on this ship, were you? Some of the old sailors believed that whistling could summon ill-favored winds. David G. -
Nicely done, the color is perfect. David G.

Wow! That is a lot of work! Very well done. David G.

Nice work. Where did you get the dashboard detail? David G.

Nice Rescue! Love the color choice. David G.

The link takes me to a page that says "You Do Not Have Permission To Edit This Page." The engine is pretty much done. I've added a few details and made a few compromises. I would like to see your build though. David G.

That's really very cool, and a tremendous amount of work. Very well done! David G.

Thanks Mike. The engine is now mostly finished. I should be able to get some pictures posted later today. David G.

Thank you Bill. I've always enjoyed masking and painting. Something about the process just seems kind of magical. David G.

At this rate, I may finish this one over the weekend. I painted the bottom of the chassis with oxide primer and masked the areas that are to remain red. After spraying the semi-gloss black and removing the masking, this is the result. And yes, I've actually been listening to some Dorsey Brothers, Benny Goodman and a few others while working on this one... and a little Slayer too, but who's keeping track? David G.

Thank you John. I put some more time in on it today, should be able to get some more pics up tonight or tomorrow. I'm building this one a bone-stock daily driver with a straight six. David G.

Thanks guys! Time for a few more photos. Filling the gaps with styrene strips pushed the fenders out just a little bit causing a misalignment of the fender bead from the fender to the front panel. Now the plan is to remove the misaligned fender bead on the front panel and replace it. This will be a little tricky, but not having to worry about preserving the fender bead makes smoothing the front panel gaps easier. As always, thanks for taking the time to look and feel free to comment. David G.

Excellent color choice, fabulous paintwork! David G.

Needing a break from my Revell 1960 Chevy Impala, which I've been working on periodically for the past five years, I decided to work on an "easy' project that I had a fairly good chance of completing. Enter the AMT 1941 Plymouth Coupe. First order of business, cleaning up mold lines. In test fitting the front panel, I discovered that there was too much of a gap between the panel and the front fenders. I used some strip styrene to make up the difference. So much for easy. . In spite of the minor set-back, I'm still making decent progress. More updates forthcoming. Thanks for looking, and as always, please feel free to comment. David G.
