AMT 1957 Chevy - 60's Style Cruiser

[speedy5963]

What's good all, thought I'd post one of my pops builds today, this was built from an older version of AMT's 1957 Chevy Bel Air, relatively box stock, few parts to dress up the engine, chrome wheels and white walls to build a simple 60's style cruiser.  Body was cleaned up, paint is a single stage jet black, not 100% on the brand, it something we were experimenting with on some parts for the 1:1 chevy during restoration.  Thank you and enjoy!

Stunning build! I'm currently building this exact kit but completely stock. It's a great kit, a real pleasure to work with surprisingly being such an old mould. Nice work.

Thank you Doorsovdoon, awesome kit, we have a number of them with a number of ideas!!    

Thank you Gary, means a lot coming from you!  Gary's work was very inspiring for me as a youth, always looked forward chopping it up at the NNL's back in the day!  

Thank you Bigdrag!

Thank you all for the comments, this is one of the more simple builds but looks so good!  Think my daughter Bell and I are going to take the 1:1 out after we finish our BBQ this evening ?
