Title: 1937 Chevy Coupe Pickup-Sylvan kitbash
Post by: restocarp on October 06, 2024, 09:42:40 AM
Dan Raymond recently posted a photo of a Coupe Pickup he kitbashed from a Sylvan Scale Models kit and I had to have one of my own. I used a 1937 Chevy Coupe kit and scratchbuilt the box from styrene. Thanks, Dan, for the inspiration!

Matt,

Great job.  IMO, you nailed it!  I remember when turning cars into pickups was fairly common.

For my sixteenth birthday, my father bought me a 1946 Ford 4 dr. sedan. Had a huge back seat which was perfect when I took a date to the drive-in. 

However, it was the true meaning of F-fix O-or R-repair D-daily!  ;D

Nice conversion Matt.  Nice weathering too.

Here's what the prototype looks like.  Certainly something different

I wish I had a better photo of it, but this is the 35 Chevy coupe/pickup I built that is on the F&SM.
