Awesome thnx Bart!!

I'm thinking about picking up the Monogram 56 bel air and throwing huggar orange on it with the chrome rims. This is looking like it's headed towards a gasser, possibly with a hemi.

Wow amazing work

I'm with you. The older style wheels matched up well in a mock up last night. I'll post some pics today if I get a chance. Thanks TonyT! I appreciate the compliment on the color.

OK, this will be a tough one. Shoot I might drop a hemi in it and do the street look.

amazing work

Thanks Doc!!! I get a lot of inspiration to challenge my skill set and push myself to go further watching your builds and you tube videos.

Awesome thanks for the advice. It's gonna be a tough touch. I might drop a chrysler engine in it LOL!!!

It started out like this, After A LOT of sanding it's now looking like this. Not sure if I want to make it a gasser with the old school wheels like these or make it a street/strip cruiser with these Trunk was cut open, will have Optima batter and fuel cell. Engine will either be a 572 variation from VCG resins, or I might go to the dark side and try a Ross Gibson rat trap just to see how they are. Or I might lose my mind and throw a Hemi in it. Can anyone explain why people put hemi's in bel Air's?

Thanks, the color is GM Huggar orange. I'm going to start a build by build thread on mine. I'm looking forward to watching you continue with this build.

It's funny you posted this, this is what I'm currently working on. SO if it's ok I'll tjrow my stuff up here for some ideas for you. I cut out the trunk after smoothing all the lines. Going to drop the fuel cell and battery back there. Probably going to pull another 572 from vcg resins, or maybe a RG rat trap. I'm torn between making it a lowrider cruiser with custom wheels, or a street/strip sort of thing with rear slicks and old rims.

Thanks Manny!! That means a lot. The 572 is dope on a rope.

I saw the center post mistake after I got it all done. I need to be aware of that next time. Here's a whole car pic

572 engine block and headers from vcg resins. Holley carbs

Thanks, I take it you don't like that paticular kit? Here's a side shot of the front suspension

I altered the front wheel base to lower it. Added pegasus wheels, and some heater hoses. I wanted to do more but honestly got burned out after all the mistakes I had to correct. This is literally the second complete model I've finished in 20 years.

I just sent these pics to my mother-in-law. She literally said "Is he selling it? It could go for about 40k." I let her know it wasn't a real car. She doesn't believe me. Keep up the amazing work.

Thanks cruz! I love the look of that engine. I'm going to pick that up for a build later on for sure.

Thanks guys

That is very clean. If you could photoshop a person leaning on it people would seriously think that is a 1:1 car. Amazing work

Ok so to close this out I'm going with the 572 from http://vcgresin.atspace.com/. I saw it on a thread for a camaro build and I was blown away. To top it off Manny e-mailed me and offered to answer any questions I have. That put them at number one for me. On a side note this is my personal opinion, I don't work for him or get any money for this.

Lookin forward to this!!!

Thank you whale. I'm down the street in Miamisburg Ohio so feel free to swing by and grab a paint brush and help me out

Nice!!!

I like the 572. Will it fit though? So far it's down to the 572, 427 from Revell Yenko Nova, or RGE 306.
