1957 Bel Air Copper Rich

[Antikainen]

Hello!

This is my almost box stock club project.

I tried to achieve some sixties mild custom touch into this one.

An AMT kit with some minor modifications and detailing, Pegasus wheel / hubcap combo and tyres.

Paint: tamiya, hand painted scallops, some extra BMF work to the top to achieve brushed steel look.

Thanks for looking!

Very cool !  Great scallops and the brushed roof looks perfect .  Love the intakes in the hood !

That's a sharp looking '57 Jarkko.

I agree with Bob. You really captured the mid '50's look. The roof treatment is exceptional. Interesting hood treatment. I have seen several was to modify these styling items, but never like this. I have always thought that the style of scallops at that time really accentuated the basic body and trim lines.

I like this! Very creative customization, well done!

[Ace-Garageguy]

I like it. Lots of subtle custom touches that make this stand out, too. Very nice overall.

Wow I didn't notice those intakes in the hood earlier! Very cool idea. I might copy that someday...
