"Appears to be all there..." A very big NOPE! Found that the engine is completely MIA except a few bits... So I say it might be perfect for a engine swap. I was looking a little for like a small block Chevy 383 stroker or something...I'll look some more tomorrow or later. Also am looking for a few odd/end pieces I'll post in the wanted section later. But this is where I am at whilst on a Facebook model auction for tonight. Most of the stuff is ready for primer/paint... Just what color(s) I'm not sure yet? I worked on the piller and it's pretty straight but will straighten it more later

edited...cant type well on my phone, so edited it once uploaded via my computer

Looking through the forums here, I only found 1 other 56 Bel Air kit built. This kit I got absolutely FREE!!! when I did a storage clean out job in town, this kit was in there and it appears to be all there. Going through it some, it appears to have had the pillars broke/bent so I will be working on straightening that out first... but originally I watch some YouTube and there was a guy that had a 57 that he took on power tour, so I was searching around and unfortunately the lack of $$$ doesn't allow me to get the real deal yet but stumbled on a 56 Bel air being sold at Mecum here in about another week or so in Florida that I might build a replica of being I was hoping to get the real one and power tour it next year (but unless something happens soon, that probably wont happen) I can Dream cant I!?

This is cool, saw the GTO show off when Steve Magnete (I am horrible with names lol) gave one to his buddy. soon down the road I'll nab one,

Cool looking build

Where'd those longbed sides come from? looks resin?

Cant wait to see this done... cool little project

awesome little obs

Awesome little 289, 1 thing I see though it looks a little "Naked" without a visor?

Got this in the mail $52 and change for a complete kit (Except part #207, which is easily scratched) From an model auction page on Facebook. I did pretty well...

Paint touched up Hubs painted (Need another coat then install) Back wheels installed Engine fan attached to engine and sitting in there Gotta figure out colors for interior and ran out on my paint pen, so a trip is in order to a hobby shop for a few supplies

Time has been decent with this Italeri (Now Round2, Amt) 377 that I painted who knows how many years ago Had some repairs but minor... Next up is repairs need to cure and paint touch ups then onto assembly of Major pieces

Just got back from the WV Racing Heritage Fest via Pennsboro Motor speedway and again this year they had a model car show part of it... (Wish I could have brought some stuff but I didn't have time to get anything done this year for it, Maybe next year?) Enjoy the pics. They didn't give him enough room to unpack EVERYTHING... so he had to select a few totes only...

Just got back from the West Virginia Racing Heritage festival and the model car show there the buddy of mine brings me a box .. This is what was in it... The 50's Ford truck is missing I think one rear fender but is a great rebuilder for someone else? Yellow mustang looks like it was assembled rather nicely and will go on a case As Is White mustang looks like it was meant to be a dirt track car Ford truck is a uniside kit with no engine (Not a curbside) The red Ford sedan looks like it was going to be a drag car of some sort? Extra Ford truck cab and some odd/end pieces, and what appears to be a fender for a 55-57 Chevy truck??? 2 complete trailers just needs cleaned up and fixed Have a couple extra trailers with no axles or anything... Not sure what the orange piece is from? A toy of some sort the guy was converting to a trailer? Kyle Petty stock car... Unknown brand/maker Camaro stock car of some sort? Would like to find the missing glass for it ? Again unknown brand/maker Does say "Made in Hong Kong, @Design and Marketing concepts. Inc 1986" on the chassis Also what appears to be maybe some revell asa Camaros and a Torino body and some other body in the making to be a dirt track cars???
