Smik 56


Recommended Posts

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.

That's some superb detailing on your 56. Would really like to have more info. on parts you used. I need all the info i can gather on parts availiblity, who makes what etc. I'm in and out of modeling so much it seems, i can't keep up with what neat stuffs available, like the engine accesories[?]. Again great looking build. :D

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. :rolleyes:;)
