Revell 1/25 55 Chevy

That stance is dead on, and I have to say that I do believe that's the nicest chrome trim I've seen.....this Molotow stuff is a game changer! I could just go on and on- the beautiful color combo, how it sits, definite 2 thumbs up!

so what ya waitin for.....get to buildin!

Thank  all of you for the great comments. My friend Mark gave me some molotow and now I can do the cars I like. 50s and 60s cars! It is a game changer. Not expensive and better than all the others. The smell is not bad. . No grief from the wife. Here is a pic of the front. Put lights in. This monogram kit is a sleeper of a kit. Thanks again.

Tail lamps are in. Monogram did a good job here. I cut the chrome parts off. I used molotow with a brush to hide the sprue cuts. Cannot say enough about this product.

I agree 100%! I’m not afraid to sand off mold lines on my chrome bumpers anymore!

Beautiful 55 Bruce. Great colors

[Dragonhawk1066]

Love the color combo! She looks gorgeous so far.

[Brudda]

Thank you Slotto and Dragonhawk. Here is a before pic of the mold line on the chrome bumper .After sanding , priming then paint with molotow.

Question.

When it's dry, can this stuff be buffed for an even deeper reflction?

[Casey]

This is flat out gorgeous so far, Bruce. 

[Brudda]

Thank you Casey and Oldcarfan. I have not tried to polish it out. I will find out. 

[ismaelg]

Exquisite!   Looking really good! 

[Brudda]

Thank you ismaelg and Superbird. Putting the motor together. Very stock. 265 with a automatic. Not really exciting but as a everyday driver this is what my buddy used. Had 4 wheel discs so it stopped well. When he got more money he was going to put a hi po small block with a turbo 400. But sold it before he did that. Still a nice car. Had around 225 hp. Had a 10 bolt rear. Not fast but reliable. A cool cruiser. Here is the start of the motor.

One of the most realistic finishes I've seen in awhile; absolutely love that side view!. Trunk lines bother me, the real ones never fit that perfectly!

[Brudda]

Thank you kollefornia kid and bisc63. Your right bisc63, they did not fit very well at all. My buddy and I had to spend a lot of time fitting his doors, hood and trunk. I’m restoring a 65 mustang and boy they do not fit very well. My friend Kevin is a restoration guy. I’m at the production end of bodywork. We took several weeks after work to get things to fit with rewelding, solder and lead. But when it’s done it’s worth it. Here is the only major modification that I have to do. Make the rotors smaller to fit the American wheels. 

[Brudda]

Here is the real stance of the 55. Prefit suspension and chassis.. Prefit engine. Looking pretty interesting. Thank you dbostream and bobdude. 

[Brudda]

Old car fan you cannot buff molotow out. It will dull out. But there is another chrome finish that I heard about and will let you know the results on that. 

[Deuces]

Wow...... ?

[espo]

The color look great. I like the stance and they wheels are perfect.  

[Brudda]

Hello. Going to make a simple distributor. This engine is going to be very stock. Not going to get carried away like my Nova.

[Codi]

I'm an acknowledged Ford guy but I'm sure glad I checked out this car of yours.  It's just oh so right in every way.   Nice nice car Bruce!  cheers, tim

[oldnslow]

Would like some more pics of the Nova too .

[58 Impala]

Absolutely stunning job so far. Would love to have a 1:1 version of your model in my driveway.

[Brudda]

Thank you Codi , oldnslow and 58 impala. I might change the direction of the power plant. I have a big block from a revell 66 el Camino  kit I might use with a 4 speed. Took it to the model meeting last night. A friend said a big block might look nice in there. I believe he might be right. So my friend Kevin might be in for a suprise
