41 plymouth gasser small update 0616/17

[vc273]

Thanks Travis and Alan for your comments. Travis I think the front springs are from the amt 41 willys kit but the front axle is from the parts box so unsure where it came from. Alan right on the money with the seats as I parted out the willys kit due to the kit just not looking right compared to the revell kit. Hope to have some paint on the interior today as the weather here in Adelaide South Australia is nice and sunny and winter is on its way. Cheers Steve

Thanks Phil for your comment. Had some time to paint the interior and get the majority of it together today. Used some parts box gauge decals and still fine tuning the roll cage before painting it. Next will be on to the motor. Cheers and thanks for looking Steve

Hi started this one back up while I am waiting for good weather for painting as there a few changes I wanted to make to it. Started off by bringing the front of the car down a bit as the beginning of the build I had lower profile tyres but then settled on these tyres which raised the front so with a little cutting and sanding and a bit of glue think it now looks better. Also while in one of my parts boxes came across an old build up of a 392 hemi from the revell willys gasser so into the oven cleaner for a good strip and clean and now have it mocked up on the chassis. Have pinned the upper radiator hose to the heads and will wire and detail once painted But in using this engine have now had to remove the gearbox cross member and move it forward because of the new gearbox on the hemi. Have also go most of the wheelie bar set up done and finished off the body with bmf and a good polish. Hope to have some more done by the end of the weekend. Cheers Steve

This is a fun kit to build, I like what you're doing with it.

Looks Great!

Nice.I love the 41 as a gas class car.

I would lose the extended wheelie bar thing and lower the nose though.That's just me. Love the concept!

Your a brave man painting this white, great job ,i like it both ways ,personally id go with the torque thrust, cant go wrong either way.

[vc273]

Thanks everyone for your comments. Have painted the hemi and waiting for it to dry at the moment. Will post a couple of pics latter on today

[dodgelover]

Great job on this. It's giving me ideas for my 64 Dodge 330 I'll be getting.

Thanks dodgelover for your comment. Thought I would post a pic of this one I have on the go at the moment

Have the engine in mock up at the moment and hope to have it finished this weekend. Have painted the block in model master hemi orange, stripped the manifold,supercharger and valve covers of their chrome and painted the covers and manifold in krylon metallic aluminum and the supercharger, injection in magnesium. Made up my own magneto and added the plug wires, still have the fuel system,hoses and blower belt to finish off. Am going to try something different with the belt as I pulled apart an old printer the other day and the belt is a perfect match just have to cut it to length and glue it together. Cheers and thanks for looking Steve
