41 Chevy Pickup

[Katsusauce]

Let's call this build "pau" for now.....

I still need to fabricate an exhaust system, and a few other little stuffs.

This one really pushed my skills....thanks to everyone who keep teaching me new skills and tricks of the hobby.

Awesome custom pickup Katsu. I liked your wip and love the finished result. Your attention to detail is inspirational. 

Cheers, David. ??

Awesome looking build! The attention to detail is remarkable.

I really like this 41 Chevy pickup.  Nice color combo and I like how you left the bed off to expose the chassis.  Nice build.

Watching the WIP and seeing the engineering in the chassis and the engine was really impressive. Great paint work.

Excellent detail and design on this one. How did you do the Siamesed intake stacks?

[Street Rod]

Awesome pickup! You did a fantastic job on the custom work and detailing!

[Michael F]

Very cool, wow !!

[TonyK]

Very sharp! I like your comments that you've learned a lot as it's one thing to learn, but another to apply it to a great looking model. I couldn't have done it.

[ewetwo]

That is an amazing build. Lots of detail.

[TransAmMike]

Great looking super detailed '41 Derik.   Great work?

[Ferbz]

Great build! Details and especially bodywork/paint are super nice ? I noticed you're in Hawaii! You ever have humidity wreak havoc with your paintjobs? I'm in Texas and I have to watch the humidity like a hawk when I do my paint work...

The whole 572 motor is 3D printed by Iceman Collections, including the siamese stacks.

Yes, I keep a close eye on humidity levels when I paint.

Here in Hawaii  humidity is normally on the higher side, sometimes I adjust the paint mixture to accommodate for the humidity but when it's really high there's no spraying for that day. 

Another thing is, I don't use a dehydrator. 

I still like letting my paint jobs dry on their own....I seem to get a deeper gloss by letting it self dry.

Beautiful build Derek! As the others have said, that paint job is spectacular. The ‘41 Chev trucks have such an amazing front grill, one of the best IMHO. Great details all round, I have my eye on one of those engines from Iceman. Do they need much clean up?

Cheers, Steve

Awesome! Nice paint and I love the stance!

[Dutzie]

Still can’t stop looking at it!
