I FINALY FINISHED 57 AFTER A YEAR TO BUILD IT. I OPENED THE DOORS AND USED "LAZYMODELER" FLAME MASK TO GET THE GHOST FLAMES. I GOT BEST SHOW / BEST PAINT AT STL. MO. MODEL SHOW.

My 56 Chevy first time to use flok Art acrylic paint and future as clear also used a flame mask to do the flames.

Nice project...here's one I did to inspire you. I used the 84 gmc bed and flip the rear-end to lower it. Also I sanded down the front suspension where it connects to the chassis to lower it. I painted with flok acrylic paints with future floor care as clear.

I would love to see them bring back the 67-72 chevy pickup kits and maybe put a little better detail when there at it. just saying..

I loved the new tool 57 Bel-Air kit. I hope they bring back the street machine issue..it has a nice big block with a 4 link rear end.

Has any one else had trouble with it cracking after a few months completing your project?

My first time to airbrush flames using the lazy modeler flaming mask.I used all acrylic paints with future as clear. The rims came from the 66 elcomino painted flat grey in center, and a two carb intake from the 69 nova kit rest of the kit is built stock.
