Steve_L Posted March 28, 2015 Share Posted March 28, 2015 (edited) With approximately 120+ completed projects, I have only built one other slammer. The other project was not well received, but this build was a fun one! While wandering through a local hobby store, I spotted a Lindberg "Bel Air Bomb" 1953 Chevy kit with a hopping chassis and illuminated headlights and taillights. I almost passed it by, but then I noticed it had a nicely chopped top and nicely extended and frenched headlights. Since I had a 40% off coupon in my hand, I decided to buy it and go for a retro custom project. I dechromed parts of the body and channeled it over a donor Monogram 1953 Chevy chassis. I added extended frenched taillights and removed the front and rear bumper guards. I installed deep chrome reverse wheels and wide white wall tires. I painted it my favorite color, Spaz Stix candy red, and added bare metal foil to take me where I wanted to go. Enjoy!

Steve_L Posted March 28, 2015 Author Share Posted March 28, 2015 Absolutely nothing wrong with that , it's beautiful ! Where did you find the deep wheels ? There are a set of two (for the drag slicks?) in the AMT 1957 Chevy Bel Air kit. I "borrowed" four of them from two kits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stray Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 That is just plain old lusty! I love the '53. I had one but had to sell it unfinished, and i still miss it to this day. You really nailed the look, and the finish is superb man. Kudos. When did Lindberg do a 53 though??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
