When the AMT '41 Woodie came out, I combined the front with a Revell '48 Ford convertible and Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Md. put it into resin. (No longer in Norm's catalog) Scratchbuilt skirts and frenched '61 Impala tailights. Norm provided the stock grille inserts but I made a custom grille from expanded aluminum mesh. Yeah, it's got a hemi. Lots of half-rounds used. Tamiya pearl white interior.

Beautiful conversion! That interior really pops too. Where are the Caddy hubcaps from?

Beautiful conversion! That interior really pops too. Where are the Caddy hubcaps from? I think the caps came from SJS Resin,,,,,,,,,,,LONG out of business. Replicas & Miniatures Co. of Md. have the same caps, unplated.
