This one is called a Vette Rod because it has Corvette running gear, a Corvette LT1 engine and Corvette taillights from a ZR1 Corvette, so enjoy this because I am not sure anybody mmakes a 41 Chevy kit, although I wish they did. Years ago I tried to get a petition to give to AMT or Monogram to do a 41 Checy kit, I mean they did a 39 Chevy Sedan Delivery and Coupe, so why not a 41 Chevy Coupe. The only company that I am aware of that did one, was Testors and it was a diecast kit.
So here's my 41 Chevy Vette Rod for you to enjoy!

WOW, that is one neat custom! This is a Danbury Mint product? Must be SUPER rare for sure. The Testors kit is pretty nice, and it is just about the only one available. I will hafta dig mine out and take some pictures of it for ya......

Hi again - ok, here are some shots of my Testors 41 Chevy diecast kit. I just noticed that I am missing a taillight! Crap, hafta find that. Anyway, it has a great paint job, was easy to put together, but the front ride height was WAY to high when the front bumper was installed. So, I left the bumper off, and turned the spindles over and mounted them on the opposite side, so now she sits a little better.......if you can find one of these, get it - good subject and hard to find!

Thanks,

Dave B - Bayouman

Fun kit to build - had to modify to correct the ride height, but otherwise, it is straight out of the box!
