Wow, that is one clean build.  Thank you for posting it.  I went with my Dad to see the brand new 1957 Chevrolets at Pioneer Chevrolet in Yadkinville, NC.  Of course the dealership has long been closed, bought out and moved to another location.  The old buildings are still there, but are in very poor condition.

Went by the old Pioneer Chevrolet this afternoon on the way to my aunt's for Thanksgiving Dinner.

[Metaldrumm]

Absolutely stunning build  Mark ............... your talents are exceptional

Wow i love it, is that box stock

The air cleaner and carbs are scratchbuilt and the interior required some scratchbuilding to remove the rear seat but the rest is box stock. Oh yes and the tires and wheels are from my spare parts box. The tires and wheels that come with the kit are chrome custom wheels and low profile wide modern tires. here is the kit.

Very nice! It's always nice to see these old Stock Cars being built. Really nice and clean work on this '56, everything seems to be just right. Even the holes for side trim are there!

I have a question: What did you use to make those straps that keep hood and trunk lid shut? I have a Black Widow Chevy in progress and I'd like to display it with hood open as well, so those straps have to be a bit flexible to display them on or off...

Niko, Its called .5 mm "Stretch Magic" bead and jewelry cord. You can also get it in bigger diameters. I purchased it from "Hobby Lobby" a craft store here in the states.

I've had an old timey stock car in the back of my mind for quite some time. This stupendous build might be what gets me going. Verywell done!

Very good build, I'm not so keen about modern day NASCARs, but when they looked like real cars instead of soap bars full with advertisement for breakfast cereal or whatever, they were actually pretty cool!
