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.

Paint looks great- excellent foil work. 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.

Wow Darren, that dashboard looks great! That shade of gold is perfect, but I think it may be too much for the whole truck. It'll be interesting to watch you make it work. 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.

Nicely done! David G.

Looking good Bill! Nice work on the scripts. David G.

Excellent work! Everything is spot on. David G.

Excellent work on the metallic bits. Everything else looks great too. David G.

I'm very interested in watching this one come together. In fact, looks like the whole community will be watching you... no pressure. Seriously though, you have some of the best model builders in the world here in this forum to back you up. David G.

Thanks Bill, I'm glad you like the paint. I find that encouraging. I sometimes feel a little twinge of guilt when I have to turn away and set a kit aside for a while. But I remind myself that it's just a hobby and if I'm not having fun with it or at least getting some form of satisfaction from it, then it's time to do something else for a while. David G.

Honestly, I'm not feeling very inspired to finish this one. It's become more of a grudge match at this point. I still may start another build just to get my head away from this one for a while... again. All that aside, it's time for another update. Unfortunately, by the time I was able to get most of the scratches out of the roof I'd begun to burn through the paint on the right front corner. Masking and a re-spray for the roof. For all the trouble I've had with this one, I think I can be satisfied with the paint and polish results. Sometimes good enough just has to be good enough. As always, thanks for looking and feel free to comment. David G.

Looks great- love all the added detail and weathering. David G.

All of a sudden it's 1978 again! Nicely done and well worth the effort. David G.

Excellent work! David G.

Very cool! David G.

Nicely Done! David G.
