Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Modeler's ADD kept this one from being completed in 2009. I actually finished this one last weekend but just took pics today. Bob Downie is right. Final assembly IS a cure for Modeler's ADD. With this build and the Falcon, I have matched my output total from 2009!!! Looks like 2010 could be a good year. Enjoy!!!

Kombi Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 That looks fantastic! The color is really suited to the car and the wheel color. You wouldn't mind sharing the source of those wheels would you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shawn Tillotson Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Alright Nellis stop it, you are making me look real bad now! That thing turned out awesome. The color really popped on it. I guess you going to Texas with guns loaded this year! Sickfish I do believe those wheels are the ones out of the Revell 57 Chevy Snapper with Pegasus Sleeves but Marc can correct me if I am wrong since he is the wheel king!

george 53 Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Actually, that's an FE block(look at where the head is part of the intake manifold) But that's OK caz it's just a plastic engine anyway! Aren't Model Cars GREAT!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Sickfish Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hey guys, i've had a quick look over on Ebay & i'm fairly sure the wheels are off the AMT Boyd Connington HOT ROD series '57 Chev Cheers Cliff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc @ MPC Motorsports Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Hey guys, i've had a quick look over on Ebay & i'm fairly sure the wheels are off the AMT Boyd Connington HOT ROD series '57 Chev Cheers Cliff! Cliff, The wheels are from the Revell Snap 1957 Chevy, modified to fit Pegasus 23" stepped sleeves in the rear and some one off, custom made 19" sleeves on the front. The wheel centers were masked and painted with Testors Gunmetal metalizer. The wheels in the AMT Boyd Coddington '57 are similar but much different.
