41 chev COE

ITS FINALLY FINISHED. It's been a good enjoyable build I am still looking for some Mercedes tear drop style head lights for it then it will be really done
the paint is Nissan Impact Red with clear over unfortunately it is a southern winter day up here so is overcast but does pop in the sunlight will take some when the sun decides to show it's self. This is not the original body but a cast of it because their are more to COE's come in the future. I used matte aluminium BMF and polished it up and sealed it with model master sealer for metalizer, instead of chrome BMF because I felt that it replicates the nickel plating used around that time better than the chrome does.
Enjoy

Kynan

Front End sits nice and low


Right hand side in the end the tyres come from the Chevy SSR kit


Left hand side

The back end with one off Paul's number plates " thanks Paul" XP style with bullet centres brake lights and Bullet blinkers


Teak, Rosewood and Blackwood tray The Teak and Rosewood came from the leftovers of the Endeavour wooden boat kit The I finished last year


Inside the cab Chevy Silverardo Seats made in to a bench seat and I just had to put a Hand made Banjo steering wheel " Go Ford


Tight squeeze to get the corvette motor in

And very nice it is too - well done! Red suits it perfectly.

G,day , wasn't sure at first But it grew on me , i like it maybe the headlights from 39 chev would suit it ?

Love it , it's different and went together really well

Great conversion job, I think these look pretty cool.

I like it, looks wicked. She be a cool work truck to get around in and it wouldn't be hard to get into either with that extra little side step.

AWSOME work the Kynan. Would love to have a real one of these

thanks guy's it was one of those models you see a picture of and you have to build, But when you have done a bit of looking at the info you work out how big a job is in front of you, And you think have I bitten off more than I can chew. The only thing that I did not have to change were the window's every thing else had to be modified or scratch built, but it was a build that I did not loose interest in the whole time but due to health it took a bit longer than I wanted it to.
Thanks Again

That's very Kool! Love those old COE's. I reckon a split window Kombi pickup would look awesome with a tall cab like that.... hmmmmmmm....

Geez that's ugly.
In a good way. Love it.

Zenrat that's the story of my lie most of the model I build are on the edge of the normal trends. buts that's the way I like it who wants to be to normal these days.
Deadly their is only one off these in Aus that i am aware off and was imported from the US not to long ago and being restore by some one in NSW. I would love one in my shed if I ever lotto
