55 Chevy Street Machine

[kforbus]

I finally finished it!!! Had some fitment issues with the hood but overall a fun build. This one went together much better than the one i built back in the 80's. Nowhere near the problems with this one. I think it is the unicorn of '55 Street Machines.

This is where it all started. This box is in good condition for living in attics and garages since the 80's.

Thanks. Since I've stepped back to look at it, there are things i would have done differently, but i am pleased with it. Took longer than it should have due to work and stuff getting in the way. Was a little disappointed that the bumper chrome took a hit to its finish over the years, but it gives it a "used" look, i think.

Looks great! I built the same kit last year in two tone and they look good all painted and foiled!

thank you. I am a little disappointed with the hood fitment and if you look close, the paint doesn't quite match the body. Hopefully my airbrushing skills will improve. 

And  thanks to everyone for all of the compliments. That's what makes this a cool site.
