If you use the six from the 1960 Chevrolet pickup kit, and use the 150 three speed trans, you'll have everything except the proper air cleaner, but that shouldn't be to hard between the '51 Bel-Air one, and the Chevy pickup kits from AMT and Revell, ('41, '50, '60) you should get enough parts to fab one up that can fool most people. Or use a small air cleaner from a two four barrel carb set up as an aftermarket one.

Those are tips for someone that might want to build a grocery getter too. You did an excellent build on yours but didn't give any particulars.

Kitchen Table Resins makes the correct air cleaner for Chevy 6s.  I believe they have three different as the cover appears in the different years.  Cheap too, I bought a few of each for future projects.

I wonder if thi is why AMT made their '57 chevy a 210 body with a Bel Air decal?

[64SS350]

Thanks guys.

The kit is being used because that's what the person had purchased to work with, I just offered to do the work.

Besides, where's the challenge in that?!

[64SS350]

Well I'm calling it done, thanks to Chief Joseph for the rear quarter decals!

That turned out real nice!

Thanks guys. I dropped it off yesterday to the guy I was building it for, which in turn is for his brother who is  77 years of age. They all seemed quite happy with the representation compared to the original 1:1.
