paul@detaildownunder Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 This has been slowly progressing on my bench for about the last 18 months and it's almost done! Lot's of mods and I'm trying to pack in the most details I've ever done. Aluminium radiator support Interiors complete Still more detailing to do under here. Petrol tank is solid aluminium Engine is nearing completion Hopefully I can wrap this up in a month or so! But I'm not holding my breath!!

OLDERGUY Posted April 15, 2008 Posted April 15, 2008 (edited) Paul, really appreciate all the time you took to describe the parts & pieces you use to build your 56 Chev. This is a great help to me, since i'm in and out of modeling and am not up on the aftermarket parts. Thanks for taking the time to update. Your a really superb builder.
