A Tale of Two '41 Plymouths

[LennyB]

I was asked to post these Under Glass so here goes.

 

Don't tell the wife I stole her display globe?

 

 

But seriously, I need to thank the support of this forum for helping me through this build. I hadn't completed a build in decades and I joined this forum in the hopes it would give me the push to see this through to the end. As you see here it worked, so thanks to all. I started the build of the Woody in this duo probably 8-10 years ago. It's a merger of the infamous AMT 1941 Plymouth and the Revell/Monogram 1948 Ford Woody. Everything in front of the firewall is from the Plymouth kit. Everything aft is from the Ford save for a few signature Plymouth parts.

All of the 41 Plymouth parts for this build came from a pile of junk 41 Plymouth kits I had sitting around collecting dust. There are probably 3-4 kits in that collection so from those bits and pieces I decided to build the coupe as well. The coupe has a very slight top chop, which you will hardly notice, that was accomplished with the merger of two separate bodies and has a little more power then the woody in the form of a hemi. That was a bugger to fit between the fenders.

If you want to follow the full tale, if you haven't seen it already, you can find it here.

 

I'll let the pics do the rest of the talking.

 

And on the the next.....

Well done on both and to quote Snake45 “Model on”

Cool looking Plymouths.  Very well done on both.

Both builds are beautifully done. Fallowed your WIP and like how you melded the Ford and Plymouth bodies. Paint colors and finishes along with the wood trim look great. Like the interiors and the way you detailed the drive trains.

Fabulous work on these Len! It's nice seeing them both finished.

I remember following along with you on the WIPs, seeing all the work you put into each.

Well done!
