crazyjim Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 My latest completion is this '57 Chevy Bel Air in HIK tangerine kandy. Frame rails are colored to body while the chassis is painted with Rustoleum texture paint and so is the trunk interior. Pegasus 23" wheels used on all 4 corners. Fine mesh was used for the grille. Incorrect, but I use copper BMF on the side panels to maintain the coppery look of the car. Scratch built center console and bucket seats fill out the interior.
PappyD340 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 WOW, that is a real beauty Jim, love the color and the wheel choice well done!!
BigTallDad Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 Great imagination and execution with that center console! Out of idle curiosity, was there no generator included in the kit?
crazyjim Posted February 28, 2019 Author Posted February 28, 2019 Thanks Ray. There's an alternator on the left side. There's just a little bit showing in front of the valve cover.

Bill J Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 That's cool! Nice paint work and I really like the copper inserts, it fits.
crazyjim Posted March 1, 2019 Author Posted March 1, 2019 Thank you Carl, David, Mark, Joe, Anders, and Bill. It's an AMT street machine kit, Carl.
Hmann68 Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Another beautiful job Jim! That’s a great color for that 57 ?
MrObsessive Posted March 2, 2019 Posted March 2, 2019 Man is that NICE Jim! That paint reminds me of Chevy's Sierra Gold which is one of my favorite colors for a '57 Chevy.
