Keep up the good work!

Have also made new trims on the body and started with the last sanding before primer and paint.

Today i painted the body. When it was dry enough to touch and handle i tried the interior and body together and could not resist to mock it up. I will let it sit for a few days before clear coat and bmf.

The way that ribbed bumper flows into the skirt ribs and matches the ribs on the fenders is inspired. '41 Plymouths are "fat" cars, but the mods you've made help this example look low, sleek, and stylish!

A definite winner! Gary

Nice!! Paul

Some last detail tuches on this one. Only a few things like bumper horns, headlighs, numberplates and the last polish and cleaning.

I made a headliner, interior light fuzzy dieces and handles for the appelton spotlights. Also found a perfect rear view mirror for the car. It got the same three chromed trim pattern as the bumpers and body lines.

Have now glued all the windows in place and chassie and body are permanently glued together.

It’s on wheels and bumpers are glued.

I have some thoughts of adding a fabric material to the foot steps to match the interior. It got the same color and pattern as the seats. Not sure yet but i like the look of it.

I also like the clean look with only paint and chrome on the body and molded footstep. What do you think, let me know.. just for fun.

Hope you understand my swenglish!

This is a good spot to drop a quick note or ask for help. If you are in a bad mood, this isn't the right spot to drop feelings. Thanks for understanding!
