'55 Chevy Gluebombs

[Sty57]

I've had these kits kicking around for a long time. I got them from a friend in a pile of stuff. 

There isn't enough parts to build a a complete car. So I figured I'd make it as an old Gasser left outside to die.

Looking good so far. Nice job on the springs, getting the wheel openings round, and not going for the nose-way-high look favored by some "nostalgia" builders.

Got some color on it tonight. Now the fun can begin.

Nice work so far!

Thanks for the kind words.

As I'm fairly green on getting back into the hobby after many years. Just about everything I do, is for the first time or an experiment for me.

I started on the trim and I decided I wanted to make a small base also.

You picked the absolutely correct spots to show the rust through holes. My first car was a '55 and had those same holes in those same places:)

Weathering on the car aside - that base is really impressive!  Nice job on that too!

Thanks Guys!

Making the base was really a lot of fun for my first time.
