I've just completed this '37 Chevy Sedan Delivery, combining an AMT '37 Chev roadster, a Revell '39 Chev sedan delivery, copious  scratchbuilding and detailing to make it as accurate (stock) as possible.The '37, 38, and 39 Chevies used basically the same sedan delivery body, chassis and drivetrain with different front clips, so the project seemed like a possibility. The Revell '39 (originally Monogram) is strictly a street rod so Monogram took lots of liberty with simplifying and modifying to suit their needs. The underbody detail as well as interior required lots of scratchbuilding to be accurate for a stock sedan delivery. I also wanted  to open all the doors as well as make the engine hoods hinge open separately as on stock 37 Chevrolet car bodies. The windshield gasket and door vent window trim is done in fine wire, and I've even cut open and hinged the cowl vent.The main paint is automotive basecoat clearcoat to approximate the available '37 Chevrolet Regatta Red, with details picked out using Humbrol and Tamiya as well as a bit of Molotow Chrome.The project has taken a month of fairly busy modelling time

You've done it again ... another STUNNER.
Cliff, when I was in my early 'teens' I'd build a few models and dream of being a 'master'-builder. YOU ARE 'THERE'.
My eyes and hands have failed me over the years. But, I thoroughly enjoy the change of seeing 'your' work.
I've enjoyed your posts here and at the old D4C for at least 15 incredible years.

Thanks for sharing.
