Great realistic looking body finishes inside and out. Like the Ford Boss 429 engine and its detailing.

Beautiful paint and body work. The engine is the center piece, and the detailing is realistic looking. In real life those really wide fronts would give you a workout trying to turn but they sure look good.

Great looking Day 2 style. The wheels look good on this body style. The mention of the small block engine size that would have been pretty common, but yes there were a few different horsepower rated 409 cu in engines offered as well.

Beautiful paint finish and like the two-tone paint work. The original style engine looks correct. Like how you used all the kits trim accessories.

Beautiful looking model of your friends Chevelle. The paint looks great, and the color is dead on. The engine looks just as clean as the real cars engine. Like the rally wheels.

Beautiful paint color and finish. The white interior color complements it well. Like the steel wheels and RWL tire look, all business looking.

Beautiful looking paint work and tasteful looking scallops. The interior has a nice custom look. Like the license plates.

We went to visit my wife's brother and his wife for a week so just now getting the windshield mounted and working on the top.

This is a great kit anyway you want to build it. The issues that Tom, Brutalform, mention are easily done as he mentioned.

Like how your nose job matches the angle of the front fenders.

Impressive body modifications. Still looks like a '50 Olds. While you know something has been done to the body, but the proportions still look almost stock at first glans. Like the new grill design.

Wish you a speedy recovery from your shoulder surgery. Like you build of a former driver from the past.

Great looking interior additions.

Great looking roll bar setup. Thank you for sharing your design and construction ideas.

Got the firewall notched to clear the engine that got mounted too high in the chassis. I had to wing it on the motor mounts since they had been removed at one point long ago. Now that that fiasco is over, I can now get the body in place and start wiring the coil and run the fuel lines.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the factory style stripping and the rally wheels.

Great looking body work.

You're making a "silk purse out of a sow's ear" as the saying goes.

Going to be a great looking chassis.

I can only go by the two different '57 Fords that I had owned in the past. The first was a Fairlane 500 Convertible that I bought from the original owners in the early '60's. The 312 engine was the Ford red with black valve covers with the Thunderbird decals that Ford liked to put on everything it seemed. The second one I bought as a going to work car from the second owner around '64 or '65. This one was the base two door just like the one represented by the Revell kit. The engine in that one was also the 312 with a single 4 bbl. and a 3-seed with O/D. Same engine colors as the convertible. At the time I was doing light mechanical repairs and general service on many different makes of cars working in a Union 76 station. What would often happen when major engine work or even an overhaul, was that engines would get repainted with whatever can of paint was handy, if they even got any repaint at all. I and most of the other guys I knew at the time did try and stay with OEM shades of paint but there were a few that just didn't care so an engine and most any other part could wind up being any color. Years later people stumble across an old car and think they have some rear optional engine because someone in the past painted it chartreuse.

I agree with you on the aspect of the loss of privacy and the selling of information about my movements while on the road. The problem as I mentioned goes back to drivers that fail to pay attention to what they are doing while drive a motor vehicle and their propensity to ignore traffic signs and the right-of-way of other drivers when that applies.

Beautiful paint finish and like the unusual paint color. The body trim and details are all cleanly done. Like the realistic looking colors used to detail the engine.

Like the very clean looking body finish and the realistic looking finish on the convertible top. The body trim looks great as well.

Like the new taillights & license plate design.
