Dan Hay Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) This is the most recent Round 2 version of the AMT 37 Chevy. I had a partial Modelhaus 38 Chevy conversion kit on the shelf for over 20 years. The kit 37 grille is so bad (not resembling a 1:1 37 grille very much) so I used what I had of the conversion kit which was the hood, grille and one bumper. The Modelhaus kit came with the correct 38 doghouse but that got lost long ago. So I made the 38 grille and hood work on the 37 doghouse. Only 37-38 Chevy experts will know the difference. Anyway, this kit has a great decal sheet, and tires. I used drag city castings small window Halibrands for wheels. Painted to resemble tarnished magnesium. The paint was fun to do. The Hay Auto decal is my personal logo I printed on decal sheet. Edited January 11, 2021 by Dan Hay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Lacy Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 That’s rad! The wheels look great. What’s your process for the color? Oh, and what’s a “dog house”??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and what’s a “dog house”??? The doghouse is essentially the grille shell, when you remove the grille from a 37-38 Chevy it looks like a doghouse. It houses the radiator, grille and the headlights attach to it. I assume you were asking about the wheel color? I feel like it's a little dark, but I used graphite spray. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Blaster-5-5-oz-Industrial-Graphite-Dry-Lubricant-8-GS/202597501 Even though it's technically lubricant, it sprays like paint. Sounds weird, I know. But I saw a video of a guy on youtube painting his 1:1 aluminum torque thrusts with it to look like magnesium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NitroMarty Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Great looking old Stovebolt!!!!! Really wish I had picked up one of those '38 conversions when they were available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dennis Lacy Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 @Dan Hay Thanks for the dog house lesson. I’m pretty ignorant when it comes to early cars that aren’t Ford’s, LOL! Thanks for the link, too. It is dark but I like it. I’m always looking to expand my techniques for wheel finishes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
