55' Chevy Convertible

This was the 1955 Indy Pace Car by Revell. I decided early on not to use the decals and just make it a stock street ride. Bought it open from an estate sale and the windshield was broke in half. Glued it together because I had no spare. The purists will not like the engine red instead of orange, but I painted the car Rustoleum Coral and White, so I thought the orange would look too close to the body color. Fairly smooth build all the way. Thanx for looking.  EDIT: Oops, I forgot to attach the driver's side mirror before the pic.

Thanx. No, nothing really to look at. All stock and no mods.

Just an observation (think of it as constructive feedback) the V8 emblems beneath the taillights were chrome...maybe a Molotow pen might be in order. The front fender wells were black; only the firewall was painted the body color...kinda late to remedy that.
