Sorry for the confusion Bill, but Joe is correct. I can find lots of 56 Chevys with the pillar, I want the one without the B-pillar. They just look so much sleeker. Thanks.

Very nice build!!

Thanks for the replies guys. I do see it in their listing though. I'll be checking them out.

Thanks for clearing things up Håkan. So I had it backwards, the belt drives a standard style water pump from the electric motor.

Great idea Jeremy. I tried that with 1956 (my birth year) as a theme but stalled on the Ford, and have to rethink the Chevy because I used the old kits with all of the poor quality that came with them. Maybe I'll finish those and then do a updated matching set like you're doing next year. Have fun!

Thanks Jesse. That makes sense.

Maybe I'm being to OCD but I'm mocking up the Revell Jukebox Ford engine and I saw something strange. As you can see from the pic (sorry about the glare) there is a pulley running from the camshaft area to an unknown piece of equipment. I've looked at umpteen different engine pics and see nothing on any of them to explain what that might be. And, I've never seen anything but a distributor ever run off the cam. Something I also noticed, not related is that the instructions call for the distributor to be in the rear engine, when most of us know the Boss 9 distributor is in the rear, like the box shows. On top of that, the parts list shows a water pump, but the part on the tree with that number is a different set up pulleys, and there's no water pump in the kit but it magically appears on the engine but doesn't show where you would install it. Crazy eh! What's surprising, is that there is never any mention of these discrepancies on any of the build narratives I've read. I'm inclined to leave it off, or run a pulley from the crank and make it a crankcase evac pump. Any suggestions, or should I just let it go.

Glad to hear things worked out Joe. Also, if you use Paypal you can also get your money back. I have used that feature successfully when a seller refused to even reply to my requests.

Nice build! I did one just recently and quite enjoyed it.

I paint the inside for the same reason. You often don't know what shows until you build it. I try to build all of my kits as if they will be viewed from every angle. Just me being me.

Looking good Dave!

Nice!!

I'm in the market for a 1/24 or 1/25 resin 1956 Chevy Belair or Sedan Delivery body. Has anyone worked with R&R recently? Are there any other casters you trust out there that have the 56 Chevy? Thanks in advance for your reply.

Very well done!

Nice work! Very thorough!

Hey! Where's the Pip Boy!! LOL! I love it. I'm a Fallout fan.

Stunning!! Great job!

Nice start Austin! I like where you're headed with this.

I added some graphics to the Camaro. Some of you will note that they are from the Revell pro street Chevelle, but I thought they matched well with the body & paint. I'm going to try to use magnets on the hood to see if it will keep it down a little better. Every time I got it to fit right it would just slowly return to this form no matter what I did. Oh well.

Nice work Rob. I'm taking notes. I have a 1960 Corvette I'm going to restomod next year, and its going to need some chassis work!

I have never gotten a reply via the website contact form!!

Great tutorial Steven! Thanks loads!

Beautiful!!

Great info Scott! Good luck Greg, that's more work than I have the patience for but I love to see it!

Thanks guys. Mike, the area around the scoop, including the scoop will be the same dark blue of the wing. As will the door handle and front splitter. I'll also darken the door lines.
