Sport Suburban Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I have not been posting many of my builds so I figured I would post a few and see what you guys think. Here is a 57 Del Rio Wagon built somewhat Pro Touring style. I was going thinking of building it with a 427 Cammer engine for something different. I didn't have one of them in my stash and saw an article using the new Boss 302 motor. I had that and thought why not! I did use the motor and fan shroud along with reworking the air intake parts to get it all to work. I love the way it cam out and looks like it belongs. I also used the rear axle from the Boss 302 kit and had to lengthen the driveshaft. Wheels are from the Revell 59 Corvette kit and work great. Breaks are from the Boss 302. The interior is mostly stock with a floor shifter added for the 6 speed trans along with a custom steering wheel from my parts box. Paint is Tamiya spray TS-30 silver and TS-39 red with real auto clear coat. Fell free to ask any questions or post any comments.
Harry P. Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Not really a fan of your color choices (I would have gone with red and white)... but other than my personal color preferences, a super nice, clean model. Nice job.
Crazy Ed Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Looks Great, and a 1:1 of that Engine/Trans Combo would make for a wonderful Cross Country Crusier!

Nice job.I considered pearl white with the candy red. It would have made the foil stand out more.
moparfarmer Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 You did just fine..Very nicely done although I'am not a wheels fan..Super clean build in nice outstanding colors...
Miatatom Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I love the color choices! What brand clear did you use?
Drake69 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I was thinking of doing mine in silver and blue in that same pattern. I'll DEFINITELY have to do it like that now!Nice color combo!
David G. Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Nice paint work, good color combination. Looks great.David G.
DumpyDan Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 That one good looking wagon, just purchased another one myself
Foxer Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I'd cut my fingers on the edges of this .. so clean and sharp!
Dragline Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Execution is off the charts. I like the color combo.
Ace-Garageguy Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Execution is off the charts. I like the color combo.I agree. Beautifully clean work.
Grumpa Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Beautiful build Raoul! You're right....the motor looks like it belongs there! Nice paint combo.
Sport Suburban Posted July 17, 2016 Author Posted July 17, 2016 I'd cut my fingers on the edges of this .. so clean and sharp!That's funny and thanks.
espo Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Beautiful build. You even kept the cats. in the exhaust. I also think these cars look good with the trim removed from the hood.
