Blown03SVT Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 I expect this kit will be a knock out the the aero sedan. Looks great in the pictures!
george 53 Posted July 23, 2013 Posted July 23, 2013 THANK YOU Gregg!! i have the chopped RMR 41, BEAUTIFULLY done by our own Steve Zimmerman, and THIS is just the perfect companion to it!
Ramfins59 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 Man O Man have I got plans for a couple of these...!!! I CAN'T WAIT.
charlie8575 Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 I do like what I seeing. This goes on the "get" list, absolutely without question. I'll have all three- and I can do one each 1946-47-48 car. Works for me. Charlie Larkin
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 What's the deal on the wood applique shown on the Fleetline in post 63? Is that aftermarket, or included in a release of this kit I don't know about? Sorry if this has already been asked and answered.
Harry P. Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Regarding post #63... Casey, what is the source of those photos? Those are incredible!

Is that aftermarket, or included in a release of this kit I don't know about? Sorry if this has already been asked and answered. Ace....Gary is redoing the Sedan kit with the lower trim series (getting rid of the metal transfers, and adding appropriate series badging on the hood), then adding these optional wood panels. They frames will be separate styrene parts, with the inserts being decals to duplicate the Di-Noc original. Both this modified reissue and the coupe kit should be available in the fall if everything stays on schedule, according to Gary. Here are some photos and commentary on the Coupe test shot I received about six weeks ago. Best regards....TIM http://public.fotki.com/funman1712/first-look-at-all-n/new-galaxie-limited-1/
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 (edited) Thank you !! Great news. Sounds like a super addition to a truly great kit. Edited July 26, 2013 by Ace-Garageguy
Longbox55 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Both are definitely going to be Must-Haves for my collection, possibly even multiples (especially the coupe).
Casey Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Regarding post #63... Casey, what is the source of those photos? Those are incredible! I think they came from Gary @ Galaxie Ltd., as they were originally posted by Gregg K in Gen Disc IIRC.
Ramfins59 Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Oh baby...!!! Thanks so very much for this info and pictures Tim. Looks like I'll not only be getting a couple of the coupe kits but also a couple of the redone Sedan kit with the wood trim. I can't wait.
tomsheehy Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 Another winner in the line...my hope will be for a sedan next...or maybe just a resin conversion.
tooltas Posted July 26, 2013 Posted July 26, 2013 my list just got bigger thanks add is kit with a nice 69/72 ford 100 that's come out soon
Southern Fried Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Kit manufacturers!!!!! Are you listening??? Do you see the excitement over a '48 Coupe? Now, call in the bean counters and think...'40/41 Chevy Coupe... The missing link to us Gasser fans!

Now, call in the bean counters and think...'40/41 Chevy Coupe... The missing link to us Gasser fans! Add a '40-'41 Chevy coupe and a'40-'46 Studebaker Champion business coupe/sedan to the gasser wish lists
dh1908 Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Hey guys, Aren't these body styles similar to the Oldsmobile and Pontiac? I went to Google and it seems those could also be done with some modification? Just a thought.
Eshaver Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 Hey guys, Aren't these body styles similar to the Oldsmobile and Pontiac? I went to Google and it seems those could also be done with some modification? Just a thought. Doable .................... yes, doable ..................... uh huh!

I went to Google and it seems those could also be done with some modification? Just a thought. It's a lot of plastic surgery, but it can be done. The Olds and Pontiac both had longer wheelbases, and a lot of that was in the nose from what I can tell and in addition to the lengthening, would be some re-shaping. Charlie Larkin

Now, call in the bean counters and think...'40/41 Chevy Coupe... The missing link to us Gasser fans! Southern....look closely at the Galaxie '48 Chev body around the leading edge of the front doors (before you adde the front fenders with their extensions....) - yes, the Galaxie Chevies were designed/tooled to support a '41 vintage kit down the road. Let's hope the new '48 Coupe kit sales justify a future investment to tool up the '41. Like you, that's my favorite PreWWII Chevy body style. TIM
charlie8575 Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 Add a '40-'41 Chevy coupe and a'40-'46 Studebaker Champion business coupe/sedan to the gasser wish lists The Stude and '41 Chevy would especially be welcomed by a lot of rep-stock builders, too. I think the '41 Chevy is one of the classiest cars of the '40s. Charlie Larkin
38 Crush Posted July 30, 2013 Posted July 30, 2013 I like '41's but I really rather have a '40! Hope that's next. Or a '32 or a '33 or a '35 all chevies of course !!!!!
