Foxer Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 First, I love your build! I had a '51 Plymouth and hated that L-Head with a passion. Actually, it was just cold winter mornings when I wouldn't start. It did only take about a 20 foot push to get it going and naver any other problems. I got the Plymouth just so I could build the engine detailed.

I like the build, but I must ask one thing, I have always thought that the AMT 41 has a very nose high, almost gasser-like stance. Were they like this from the factory? I have never seen one IRL since 1940-42 american cars are very rare in Europe, but I don't remember our 1946 sitting like that.... Mattias, I also think that the front end sits a bit high on this car but I just didn't try to modify it to sit lower.

The stance on your model doesn't detract at all, though, it has a believable appearance; quite realistic! Mattias, I never even considered any hop-ups for my six, I'd never heard about that particular weakness! I learn on this forum continually.
Cpt Tuttle Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 No it doesn't look bad at all, I was just curious since all built up stock AMT 41s I have seen seems to have this nose high stance and since I have never seen a 41 Plymouth IRL.
