bluestringer Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 Next on the bench. I'll be building the OOB custom, I will not be using the Coke decals. Nothing special, so not much to see. Just thought I would put it up. Comments always welcome. 2

Sledsel Posted January 25, 2024 Posted January 25, 2024 I have built this and it goes together pretty well.

bluestringer Posted February 4, 2024 Author Posted February 4, 2024 Got the engine ready, primer on the body, got some more work to do on it. And got the chassis painted in Tamiya Black. Going to try some Vallejo Model Color in Gunmetal Blue on the body. 1
LennyB Posted February 4, 2024 Posted February 4, 2024 David Coming along nice. That is the engine right out of the box I'm assuming. Looks really good. I only have the flathead 6 in my parts lot. I need to go to the junkyard and find a decent engine. Len 1

espo Posted February 10, 2024 Posted February 10, 2024 Good looking color. The side view of the body looks nice and smooth.
customline Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 I'm curious about the custom engine. It seems kinda small. Does anyone know what it's supposed to be? Small block MoPar? Niiiiiiiiiiice paint, James! Beautiful blue. Can't wait to see it in foil ?
David G. Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 That's a pretty color and it seems right for the time period. David G.
Zippi Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 The 41 is coming right along James. Great looking body color.
NOBLNG Posted February 11, 2024 Posted February 11, 2024 Looking good!? I too like that colour on it.?

bluestringer Posted February 15, 2024 Author Posted February 15, 2024 I didn't like the big chrome headlight bezels, so I gave it a kinda custom look pushing the lens into the opening and putting some foil behind them.
David G. Posted February 16, 2024 Posted February 16, 2024 The result is frenched headlights. It works! David G.
