Hi all,Ā 

So, this is basically a repost of my 41 Chevy Ā pickup but with all new photos. I haven’t figured out editing an old post. To recap, it is 11 scale inches shorter, 4 1/2ā€ in front of the rear wheels, 6 1/2ā€ behind. I swapped out the straight six and added a blown 409 with scratch built intake and side drafts. Parts box wheels and tires, Ā carbon fibre decals used on the rear bumper and for the bed. Stance has been lowered, and aluminum tubing for exhaust tips. The interior has a fabric seat cover. The paint is metallic red with matte clear. Not a new build, so some of you have already seen this. Hope you don’t mind the repost…

This truck has quite a few miles on it, which shows. It’s been to California for NNL west, Washington state, more locally Vancouver, as well as a couple of local shows… I’m posting this partly because I will be building another one of these in the coming year. Pretty sure I can do a little better next time…

Don't mind a re-post at all Steve, especially when it's a killer build like this of a 41 Chevy pickup Hot Rod.Ā  Love the color and that 409 with theĀ side drafts couldn't fit any better.Ā  Just a Bodacious buld Steve.Ā Ā

Hi Bob! Well, I know you like your fat fendered rides, with blown big blocks, so I figured this would appeal to you. Love your Willy’s build.

Thank you very much Keith. I always appreciate your kind words. I will be building another 41 Chevy truck as a shop truck, HOPEFULLY, in the fall. If all goes well, it should be an improvement over this one.Ā

This truck must be a favorite of yours - you always do great work, but the fit and finish on this one seems like you went a tick extra with it.Ā  Beautiful truck in a terrific setting!

Hi Brian! This is a bit of an older build, maybe 2017ish. As mentioned above, I will be building another one of these later this year, and hope to improve on it. Thanks for the kind words sir.

What a treat to see. This is the first time I've seen it. Wow. Those carbs and stance and photos.Ā 

Thank you Robert, much appreciated. I like my builds to sit low. Stance is everything… well almost everything.Ā

Super Matte Paint Finish!

Thanks Pat. I seem to have developed a ā€œthingā€ for matte metallic finishes. Still like polished paint jobs too though…
