• So: seeing all the '39 Chivvalays on the board begs the question
  • I've got that exact swap, half done in a box.
    • How does the engine fit? Wondering how accurate the '39 frame is to the original... *NM*
      • The Engine fit pretty well, on the first test fit.
      • The frame is simplified. IIRC it should be something like the Galaxie '40s Chevy kits. Chassis reference can be found in the GM "Restoration Packs" found online. *NM*
  • Monogram '53 Bel Air into '39 sedan delivery *PIC*
    • I used the engine from.the revell 1941 chevy truck...
      • I built this back in the late 1980s, IIRC, before the '41 Chev was out. Pickings were slim for stovebolts at the time. *NM*
  • So now what I've gotta do is take the BBC out of the '39 and put it into the '53!! *NM*
    • And use the Pontiac Rally IIs... *NM*
      • Well....maybe not, they're already used on something else. *NM*
    • My plan was to use the BBC from the '39 in making the '53 into a pro street. Stalled project at the moment. *NM*
      • Sounds Like a Winner to me! You should move it up to the front of the bench. *NM*
        • You never know when the urge will hit! :-) *NM*
  • All the 39 Chev models made me go & find the resin Oz 39 Chev Sloper that I've been fiddling with for 20 yrs, using the Mono 39 Coupe as the donor......choices,choices......lol.. *NM*
