Steamboat Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 This one is a Shelf of Doom build for my local club. It's been on the shelf in various forms for at least 20 years. I'm finally calling it done. Forgive the poor photography, that's still a work in progress. The only AMT kit parts remaining are the body, dash and some of the chrome. The chassis is from the Pro Street Firebird, stretched and narrowed to fit the Plymouth. The engine is a resin cast of the 5.7 Hemi from a Revell Charger. I opted for an A833 four-speed (with requisite pistol-grip) because I didn't have to modify the transmission tunnel to make it fit. Rear tires and the seats are resin clones of the Mickey Thompsons from the Pro Street Coronet. The roll cage is made of bits and pieces from my parts box. 3d printed parts include the valve covers, intake manifold, throttle body, K&N air filter, front wheel dust caps and the exhaust dumps. Comments and suggestions are always welcome!
Tom Geiger Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Looks great and was well worth finally finishing!
TarheelRick Posted February 19, 2021 Posted February 19, 2021 Don't see this kit very often. Really like the direction you took with it. Very nice build all the way around.
Dennis Lacy Posted February 20, 2021 Posted February 20, 2021 So RAD! Definitely one of the coolest models I’ve seen built out of that old ‘41 Plymouth kit. Makes me miss the pro-street craze of the 80’s and early 90’s!
Zippi Posted July 2, 2021 Posted July 2, 2021 I guess I missed this one. Nice looking 41 Plymouth. The two tone paint looks pretty kewl.
