Looks nice! What a great color for that 'vette body; it really accentuates all the body sculpting. Not over the top at all. Well done.

Curious about the paint as well. Nice job on a classic kit. Love the red with white interior. Very clean build, and has a real muscle car stance.

Neat. Dang, that's some really decent detail work , especially considering you're down in "military" scale! Nice job.

+1 to all that has been said about a clean, realistic build in a fantastic cool color!

Outstanding thread; the reason I come here! Much to learn from this one. Beautiful work.

I spy a couple of nicks in the primer or filler on the scoop... Don't you love close-up photography?!?

The blown 409 option in the AMT 57 has a nice appearance,with a full chromed belt cover, or that unusual induction system from some versions of the Monogram '56 Chevy has eye appeal!

Not sure why Createx calls the one paint Pearl Copper, it's really a very nice pale gold, heavy with fine pearl.

Here's a couple of water-based solutions, both look more intense in color in the pic than they do in person, but both could be tamed to your liking with a little white:

Very nice! Has a very real appearance, and the color scheme is especially attractive. Well done.

That looks really nice, just like the real deal! What a wild looking piece of machinery.

That's a very cool car, and what great old photos! You're lucky to have those. You did a very fine job with that model, you really got it looking spot on! Love that color.

Excellent solution for your hood scoop! Very good looking Torino Cobra as inspiration, and you're off to a good start on your model. That exhaust is already looking nice!

Don't wet your color coat between color and clear. First, try a blast of air to remove any dust, then wipe with a Tack Rag, or Tack Cloth. Don't use the very tacky ( yellow) ones from the home center, those are for the heavier dust of wood workers. Instead, find an auto-body/paint supplier and get the light blue tack cloths. These have a lower tack, but will absolutely pull away any stray dust particles. Don't rub hard, simply lightly move it over the entire surface with the least amount of pressure you can. If you're not familiar, a "tack rag", as they're often called, is cotton cheese cloth impregnated with a somewhat sticky resin that grabs and holds dust like nothing else, while being chemically inert as far as paint coats are concerned.

Looks like a real workin' man's work truck!

I think I remember that first one from "Building & Detailing Scale Model Pickup Trucks", though I don't have my copy handy to verify it. All fun stuff, and weren't those AMT snappers fun, accurate curbside kits?!

Nothing wrong with that build! The old Monogram kits are pure modeling fun, and good slump-busters; just to finish a kit without overthinking it. Nice job.

Shame about the decals, but that looks just BADAZZ in dark blue! Nice street rod.

Very cool build!

Nice work! The color is gorgeous.

Ha! Prepare for disappointment when you open that door!

Cool references! That Yankee Peddler is an interesting color scheme. I dig it!

That is SHARP! Nicely done.

Very cool! That does make an attractive model, and your color choice really gives it a bold look. Well done.

SO clean and cool! Great looking mild custom, much to see here!
