Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Those pictures were taken back on the fourth of this month, when the '57 Chevy built by my pall Doug was here in my house. For some unknown reason, they just vanished and wren't downloaded into the computer along with the others. Only got them bu removing the camera's memory card and installing it directly into my computer's card reader. The pictures are a comparo between a 100% Factory Stock '57 and a Street Machine '57. The factory stock is my build (restored model kit I got built). The street machine blown Chav is a build by my friend Doug. 1957 Chevy Stravaganza.

Bob Ellis Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 Nice jobs. Am I supposed to see a rust hole where the spare tire goes?
Lovefordgalaxie Posted April 12, 2015 Author Posted April 12, 2015 Thanks gentlemen, at least for the stock built that is mine!! Already told Doug people think his model is cool, and nice, but he is still afraid of forums. I told him it's bull, but the man is stubborn. I guess since he got into a Brazilian forum and people told him all the million defects his models had, and all the detailing it was lacking he got scared. I wish that a-holes could see this car. Not speaking English also is a small problem. Google translator is not exactly a good way of participating. It has a tendency of making one sound ridiculous on the "translated" language. About the kit, both are the Monogram - Revell 1/12 scale '57 Bel Air. The kits used on both builds were of the 1986 vintage, with the body molded in black, and interior molded in red. I don't recommend the newer (2007) Revell editions as they have those unrealistic no name tires and the stock tires are messed up.
tbill Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 both are terrific builds, pretty cool to see them side by side. tell your buddy to just post pictures, we will figure out what he wants to say
57peppershaker Posted April 12, 2015 Posted April 12, 2015 What a great pair of huge 57's. I love the modded street machine. I have 3 of these that have remained unfinished for too long. Its a real shame that Revell dont update these 1;12 kits with different & more up to date options. Did you cast the over riders ? The white stripe with the Cragars looks cool.

I built them out of epoxy putty. If you pay close attention to the front bumper on the Street Machine, you will notice it's a little different. That's because the part was missing from the kit Doug bought out of e-Bay, and I also molded it from epoxy putty. It was originally painted with Alclad, but Doug foiled it. The topic on the bumper is here: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=100173
Jon Cole Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Wow! Both... excellent! It's the details that I like. Like, do I see a small "dealer" emblem on the trunk? Never seen that done in scale before!
spencer1984 Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Both are beautifully done, and make a nice pair together!
wayne swayze Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 Both are beautiful builds, but TBH , I like the stock version a little more. They sure look good together!
