R. Thorne Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 This build was done as a possible bare bones competitor to the Moody & Jones 1937 Chevy Nationals winning car. I had built a (unfinished, as a lot of mine are) model of this car a few years ago. I knew Sam Jones (rip) in the seventies and hung out at his speed shop about 30 miles from me. Anyway, when I was 15 or so in 1962, I looked at a 1941 Plymouth coupe in a barnyard for sale for $50.00 and almost bought it to build for C/GS. I realized I couldn’t afford it and built a StockEliminator car (1953 Oldsmobile) instead. I put some 3 mm double sided tape on it to hold the hood on. 3
espo Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 Like the theme and the paint job looks great. Looks good alongside of the Moody & Jones car.
M W Elky Posted May 24, 2023 Posted May 24, 2023 It looks great ? just like an old gasser should. That’s a beautiful paint job by the way.
Rattlecan Dan Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 Great looking old gasser! Nice paint, and great color.
Altered Ego Posted May 25, 2023 Posted May 25, 2023 I had actually along on the WIP on this one. The results are fantastic. The Moody-Jones car is super cool as well.
R. Thorne Posted May 26, 2023 Author Posted May 26, 2023 Thanks, guys. Encouragement is always appreciated.
