curt raitz Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 A gentleman brought his model of the '55 Chevrolet Stake-bed truck I built for him @ 5 years ago by the shop for repairs. He dropped it and a few things broke off. He asked if I could build a model of his brothers 1937 Chevrolet 2 dr "Humpback" Sedan as a Xmas gift. I told him it shouldn't be a problem, hardest part would be finding a '37 humpback sedan body. I did find a resin '39 humpback sedan from Hendrix Resins. The biggest difference between the '39 resin body and the '37 was the "humpback" was missing on the '39. Got the dremel out and started carving, luckily the resin was fairly thick. here's how it all went together: Powered by a small block Chevy with "Heartbeat" Valve Covers courtesy of Steve Allemand Paint is Testors One Coat Fiery Orange after completed, I did not like how the kick panels looked, so I modified them...kinda scary when playing with a finished model, but results were worth it. Finished model: these photos were taken before I modified the kick panels... thanx for looking...
72 Charger Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Very nice much better looking than the coupe IMO
Tom Geiger Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 That is cool! Love the color too. Do you have any photos of the 1:1? I'm sure the brother will be crazy happy on Christmas!
wayne swayze Posted November 22, 2014 Posted November 22, 2014 Gorgeous model, you do such great work... X2!
jbwelda Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 Curt that's the usual super job, even more so that you were doing it for someone else! but where did you get those valve covers? they are just what I need for something! could you give me a link if possible? jb
