Street Stone/Woods/Cook coupe

[crazyjim]

What a day! Grass mowed; pine cone ginger cut down; 2 2lb meatloafs in the oven; and finished this coupe. I don't do race cars so I tried to make the Stone/Woods/Cook gas coupe into kind of a street freak by putting in a full interior (seats are my castings), an exhaust system, and a gas tank. It's finished in HOK lime gold over a gold base with the fender lips basecoated with silver. Those are Ma's Resin M/T Sportsman tires in the back.

Cool!

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Scott.

[Danno]

Wow, that's bright!! Nice.

[crazyjim]

Kind of like me, Danno. . Thanks.

[Sam Cates]

Love it! Colors look great and the exhaust is spot on!

[crazyjim]

Thanks, Sam. I think I should have painted the inside of the exhaust light yellow. Next time.

Time to do the turkey. We cheated this year and bought thick sliced turkey from the deli. Cooking a whole bird doesn't make sense for just the 2 of us. Hope you have a great day/night. I'm outta here until tomorrow morning.

[Haubenschild]

That looks sweet!, i love the yellow headers and frame

[Peter Lombardo]

Wow, that thing really pops!.....I doubt it would even need lights at night. Certainly an attention getter. I love the yellow exterior color it works really great on the car........My wife and I find that a Turkey Breast roasted in the oven is just right, we then have just the white meat leftover for sandwiches for a few days....but either, have a great Thanksgiving Jim.

[Chuck Most]

Wow- those old drag coupes clean up pretty well.

[Jantrix]

Wow, Jim, you've really got the painting down now and you're really started getting creative. Very nice.

[Greg Pugh]

Nice work Jim! That things awesome!

[maltsr]

Really cool build Jim

[Terror]

That came out nice. I like the pipe work the most.The yellow is cool too.

[Dave42]

Great looking build. I especially like what you did with the tail lights and the license plate.

Later,

[crazyjim]

Thank you, thank you. This was a fun build. I thought I'd turn the license plate recess just for kicks.

[Ira]

GREAT BUILD!!!

The paint and detailing are fantastic! Nice color choices..

[rustybill1960]

Thanks guys.

If Harry looks, he'll see that the alternator has a bracket and is not "floating". The belt was made from Tamiya masking tape doubled over and hit with a black marker.

the paint looks smooth and SHINY!!!

the interior is done well

the engine looks good.

all in all a wonderful job.

thanks for sharing

[crazyjim]

Thanks Fatkidd. Appreciate the paint comments from a master such as yourself. I'll never catch up to your level of painting, but I'm having fun trying to get there.

Oh man, I don' know how I missed this one, Jim. Great work. Love all the chassis details, etc . . . nice paint too. Now you've got me wanting to build another one of these 41 Willys, gasser style.

[crazyjim]

Well get on it, Dr. Cranky. I've always loved the gas coupe look (big & littles and the front end way up) but I build only stuff that could be on the street. This build was inspired by a grey Studebaker Lark I saw at the Pumpkin Run. That big blower sticking out of the hood on a street car looked impressive - and sounded so cool.

[Dr. Cranky]

I just got a couple of copies of the kit.

[Art Laski]

That thing looks Crazy, Jim! Nice job...
