OH YEAH, I cleaned my workbench and used it to work on a model. talk about intended purpose.

Paint looks really nice. I cant wait to see it polished up.I am curious to see the photoetch stuff you are doing also.

I cannot believe the stuff you decide to build it is utterly fascinating and done expertly.

I have a lot of kits also I spent my first ten years or so buying every new kit that came out .I then progressed to buying out of production kits often overpaying for them .After that it was buying everything that was discounted .Now I am more discriminating and only purchase the things that I want to build.I feel that I do have too much and thinning down would be great and encourage more building.

great looking 57 chevy. it has been awhile since I've seen one that I like.

I like this build and I have a suggestion for the radiator .instead of the one you got there sittin in front of the engine what about 2 smaller ones mounted over to the side where the scoops on the body are. just a thought you are probably way past that any way. carry on.

well number one would be the meyers manx if it ever comes out.

Man I have been excited for several years when the rumors first started. I even stopped looking for the original online. If knew then how long it was really going to be, I probably would have sprung for one. I am not even sure how long it has really been 4 or 5 years at least.I will snap however if it gets pushed back again.

gee whiz Joshua don"t give up that easy. that was started over a year ago perhaps this time around more people will be more interested. I will find something to build out of the box and even attempt to finish it!

very cool , it is somewhat comforting to see that you also have projects that take awhile to get done.because you usually just fly through assembly

I know,right?

I also like this one the color combo looks great!

Nice! I like the colors, the engine and the wheels are perfect.nice job on the doors they usually don't fit very well. great job all around.

you did a really nice job on this ,especially for '93 or '94.

Well when did mattel buy matchbox?

Thank you Bill, the part my brain doesn't understand is why a person cannot use pictures from a photo site. I am clearly not very tech savvy and moving stuff around from one device to another is not a simple task for me.perhaps I am envious.

My problem is I don't have many pictures on my notebook they are all in photobucket.the notebook is relatively new so I still am getting used to it and what it can and cannot do. I really just want to add pictures to my gallery from photobucket and as soon as I figure out how to do that I can figure out the avatar. I am glad I am not the only one.

Looks to me that you are doing it right. except it seems you may be on the verge of completing something,which we all know is not what modeling is about.you are supposed to start a project, make a huge mess,start another project ,make a huger mess ,decide you need to clean up the previous messes,get motivated by the clean workbench and start yet another project, make a huge mess , be reminded by the mess of prior projects, drag those out become disgusted at the incredible mess and lose motivation then clean up the bench and repeat. at least that's how I roll.

I cant seem to upload pictures to the gallery or my avatar from my photobucket site. I am sure it is extremely easy but I am stupid you are smart .

Not bad for a first build. I like that you used two different colors of primer and the decals on the rear window .if you don't have a small brush try a silver sharpie to pick out some of the trim areas. what is your next one gonna be? or now that this is done what areas do you feel you want to improve on?

I am pretty sure it came from the amt 34 ford pickup

I vote for the 25 t grille

I am glad to see more of these pop up. great work both then and now.

Thank you for the link it is very helpful.It has filled in quite a few blanks that I had. and I will check out the Larry Davis book as well .

very cool project,glad you built it . I was not aware of this body I think I might like to have one. very nice work on this one I can't wait to see your next one.
