Keep it going Andre, looking good.  I'm off and on working on the same kit.  Gonna be a kinda Street/Gasser.

Thanks Mike..

  I actually lost a whole sprue of parts for this. was able to manage. but the master brake cylinder parts are MIA . searched my parts bin could only find one of a old monogram superbird. things is huge. So hard to find since a lot of the time they are molded on to the firewall 

[Scalper]

Engine bay pretty much completed. 

My other 57 Chevy is neck and neck with this one 

[Scalper]

Some pretty nasty mold lines in the front bumper. This is not acceptable. Time to fix.  Sanding stick and molotow to the rescue 

[Scalper]

More done on the front end tonight. 

 

[Scalper]

Lots of sanding and scrapping to make the bumper guards fit.  Time to paint them again

Starting to look like a 57’ 

bumper on and turned on the radio

This one. It’s a nice kit 

[TransAmMike]

Wow, not famillier with that one. Looks like it has custom wheels.  Isn't that a big block Chevy engine on your model. Does it come with that?

[TooOld]

Looks like you've overcome some issues and it's looking really great !  Good job fitting the front bumper !

[Scalper]

Thanks Guys,  The kit comes with a pretty nice 350.

Thanks Bob. Did I mention missing sprue as well. . Had to find and sand down 4 wheel inserts to make the wheels fit.. I bet you my master brake cylinder is on that same sprue 

[TransAmMike]

I know thats of course a discontinued kit, but in doing a google search, as usually you can at least find one for sale, no where can I find a seller of one.

almost done with the hood. Bottom trim to install and touch up paint underneath 

[TransAmMike]

Looking good Andre, and thanks for the Ebay info.  Gotta think about that for those prices.

[TransAmMike]

Andre,  I'm BMFoiling my Gasser '57 now.  Your job on the trim looks great.  Wondering though, is that foil on the vent windows? I seem to always have problems doing them.

  No foil on this model. All Molotov’s pens 

[TransAmMike]

Thats impressive, looks great.

Outstanding work on one of my favorite cars

[Scalper]

Thanks... one of my all time favorites as well 

[Scalper]

Front end finally completed.  Debating if I should mount the front license plate. 

[Scalper]

Back end getting all buttoned up. 

[TransAmMike]

Whoa, that fuel cell in the trunk shocked me LOL.
