Plowboy Posted April 28, 2020 Posted April 28, 2020 I built this five or six years ago. It's a kitbash of the Revell '48 coupe and the AMT '41 woody. Basically, I just grafted the '41 front clip to the '48 body. I also narrowed the front track 4 mms to tuck the tires in a little better. Inside the interior, I just added the '41 dash and steering wheel to the custom interior and painted it flat white and Krylon Pistachio Green. The engine is from the '48 and was my first flathead. The body was painted with Model Masters Diamond Green with a coat of Testors dull cote. Thanx for checking it out!
Phildaupho Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I love the look of your 41 Coupe. Very well done conversion. A real classic custom.
Ace-Garageguy Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 Very nice. That's something I've been wanting to do for a long time. Now I can save myself the effort, and just look at yours.
gman Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 That is a first class '41-'48 mashup there. It's got a clean early custom look to it, turned out great.
espo Posted April 29, 2020 Posted April 29, 2020 I agree with all the others on your body work. You were also able to get the nose of the '41 to set right without the upturned look.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Very nice and very clean build! Very impressive!
Belugawrx Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 That is one white hat, looking black hat bad ? Nice work on the engine bay
StevenGuthmiller Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Very cool looking car, and extremely well done! Steve
Rocking Rodney Rat Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 This is the best thing I've seen on this board in a long time...flawlessly executed, super clean. The vent windows are exquisite. I like that you didn't french the headlights and along with the rake, gives it a hot rod look rather than kustom...... -RRR
Spex84 Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Ultra clean and just enough detail to make it stand out in a crowd. Bravo! I also like that it has a hot rod stance and attitude. Those 41-48s are pretty tough looking when they have a more aggressive stance...which is an interesting contrast to the matte light green paint!
Flatout Posted April 30, 2020 Posted April 30, 2020 Really cool Roger...compared to the 48, this just looks much better. Would mind at all having the 1:1 in my driveway.

To me, the chop on the Revell '48 has more of a hot rod look than it does a kustom. So, it made more sense to build it as a hot rod. I honestly don't know why the vent windows stand out like they do. But, my eye always goes to them for some reason. Weird.
