eran_k Posted February 15 Posted February 15 i was able to buy the old monogram 39 Chevy coupe, what a nice piece of kit!, i will be building it as a Gasser, inspired by many photos on the web. suspension parts, wheels and tires are 3D printed (some from Scale Speed Garage and some of my own design) I will use the Kit's engine as it's quit good, but will add a set of printed Gasser headers. i started by removing the molded mufflers and gas tank from the frame, than added the front and rear leaf springs and front axle (all 3d parts) also primed few more parts and painted the underside of the body flat black. haven't decided on body color yet, might be gold or orange 10
dragcarz Posted February 17 Posted February 17 Should be a great build, looking forward to seeing if completed. Looks great! 1

stavanzer Posted February 23 Posted February 23 Lookin' Good, Eran! That Kit Motor just screams, "Gasser", doesn't it? Your workmanship is excellent. 1
eran_k Posted February 28 Author Posted February 28 things are moving slowly, basically waiting for primer coats and paint coats to dry foe several days. before i can start putting things together. so the body is now drying after few coats of gold paint just for fun i added an electric fan to the radiator 2
