The only thing really wrong with this kit is the body side trim. The problem can be seen in the picture on the front of the box art compared to a picture of an actual '57 Bel Air. If you can work with that there is no reason not to enjoy building this one.

Reminds me of a saying, "You can tell the men from the boys by the size of their toys".

Interesting paint color combination, great looking finishes. Like the interior details and the opening doors.

Thankyou David. The engine supercharger is a replacement for the carbs that I used on a '57 Plymouth Fury.

The darker body color and not having the extra stripes gives this a sinister look. Great paint finish and the body trim and badging look nice and clean. The engine detailing is very realistic looking and color correct. Like the painted steel wheels.

Perfect paint color for this and the finish. Clean body trim.

Great looking paint color and finish. Like the interior and engine detailing.

Nice shade of blue and clean looking body chrome trim.

Looks like moisture from somewhere.

Thanks for the memories. Based on the yellow license plates this must have been taken prior to 1963 when California went to the black background and yellow lettering. Liked the Pin Striping and the dummy Spotlights.

I have owned both a '10 Charger RT 5.7 Hemi engine with AWD and my present car is an '18 Charger GT which is basically a 6-cylinder 8 speed auto trans with most of the SRT electronic and suspension features plus AWD. The '10-year model was the Steel Cities Gray body color and the bottom of the unibody was a flat light gray color and the various suspension parts were a natural flat aluminum finish or a light coat of a flat black on many other parts. The present '18 Charger is painted White Knuckle, and the underside is a similar shade of light gray with only a very few hints of white overspray. I don't know if the underbody area color is different on Chargers painted another color than these. Hope this may help with what you are looking for. Maybe find a Charger somewhere and the owner will let you take some pictures of their chassis.

I'm listed as an organ doner on my driver's license, but they're going to have to wait until I'm thru using them, and my driving habits aren't going to be the reason they get them.

Heard a ruckus outside last night. Opened the back door to better hear what was going on. The local Coyotes were calling each to other. My wife said the new neighbors were asking a lot of questions about it on the local neighborhood web site. She told them to make sure any small dogs or cats were inside. Living on the edge of the prairie can be interesting at times.

Excellent body fabrication and the finished work looks realistic. The paint color and finish look great as does the interior. Like the engine detailing.

Did this to replicate a 1950 Oldsmobile used by the California Highway Patrol. Used the Revell '50 Olds's kit as a base and used some decals I had from a long-closed supplier. The spotlights and rear package tray lights that were the fog lamps in the Galaxie Chevrolet kit. The radio equipment is from a Revell '57 ford wagon kit.

Great attention to even the smallest little details.

Drivers like that are known as organ doners. Hopefully most of the organs are still reusable when this brain surgeon gits done with them.

Thankyou Jeff. I also used the pearl green on a Ranchero build a few years ago with much the same results as well.

Thanks Don. Been wanting to try a roof treatment like this for a while. The blower was to replace the carbs I had robbed out of this kit. Thank you.

Beautiful paint color and clean body trim. Better keep the Traction Control on when driving in the snow.

Great looking paint color and finish. The vinyl roof treatment looks good. The L88 style hood and the engine work well together.

Beautiful looking paint finish and a agree with you on the green color being the best looking. With the smooth body lines, you would never realize all that had to be done to get them that way. Great looking body and window trim.

The roof shape looks better than most chopped tops in that it in proportion with the body. Since I don't recall ever seeing a kit of a '35 Ford that makes this very interesting. The stance along with the wheel and tires look perfect for this.

Great looking two-tone treatment, and like the way you ended the paint color on the front and rear fenders. The trim looks nice and cleanly done. The engine and chassis detailing has some nice color details.

Great looking paint color and finish. The soft top option looks correct as does the finish. Like the engine detailing and the original overall look of your build.
