41 Chevrolet Pick up.

[Robert81]

I do a community Quick build every month on another forum. This month we did a Hot Rod build.

The build started on Friday September 26 and goes until Monday September 29.

I chose to build Revell's 41 Chevy pickup.

I modified the suspension to lower it.

In the front I did an axle flip. I had to remove part of the center of the axle to clear the oil pan, reinforcing with sheet plastic.

the rear was much easier. the rear axle was already on top of the springs, so I just added Styrene blocks to get the frame to sit lower. (it is hard to see in this picture.)

Next I added a couple blocks or Styrene to the intake manifold to accept the Triple stombergs from AMT's 32 Ford 5 window coupe. (the picture is really fuzzy, even with Macro on)

I removed the hood sides to show the engine better.

A little fuzzy, but it shows what I'm after. in looks.

I painted the body Dupli Color Metal Speck red. Today I will paint the fenders black. At this point I added Baby Moon caps also from AMT's 32 Ford 5 Window. (the picture is a little dark)

By this time tomorrow I should be done this build.
