The paint is DupliColor Victory Red on the body and MM Italian Red on the interior. The decals on the seats are home made. I also added some brake backing plates to the wheels and some PE wire seperators.

This is a mostly box stock build of the AMT Dave Strickler 62 Bel Air kit. I added plumbing, carb linkage and wiring to the engine compartment and used the Proffitt Slixx decals.

This turned out very nice! I like the paintjob on it, and decals look good. Engine detailing is great too. These X-Frame Chevrolets are always nice to see, especially Stockers and Super Stockers. Thanks for sharing this build.

Thanks guys, compared to a lot of the builds on here it's nothing spactacular but I put a lot of effort in to this one. The 62 Chevy is one my favorite big bodied cars.
My dad races a 63 Biscayne and I love these old Chevy's. I saw a restored version of this car run a pass at a Nostalgia Drags event a couple of years ago.

Super Nice !
I'm always pleased when I see a vintage 1/4 Miler whose sponsors were dealerships which were close to my hometown ( Cone Chevrolet [Fullerton] , Don Steves Chevrolet [La Habra], Ricker Motors AMC [Whittier] , Bill Kraft AMC [Norwalk] , etc. ) , and your gorgeous build exemplifies this
