Looks really good.  I dig the colors!  Where are the tires from?

Thanks! I'm not sure where the tires are from. They were in the box when I got it.

Got this thing wet sanded and the final coats of clear on it this morning. Now to let it sit in the dehydrator for a while and then give it a final polish in a week and touch up the chrome.

Nearing the final stretch!

If I  missed it, what clear is that Tom.  Very wet looking.  Nice job?

beautiful paintwork, it's coming along nicely.

Tonight's progress on the 57. Got the grill and headlights installed. A bit of Molotow and panel line accent touch ups done.

I noticed a problem with the rear drivers side bumper molding. This is a problem with the mold because the two rear bumpers I had were identical. 

I began the repair by cutting the parking light off of the driver's side and cutting a passenger side from a spare. Then glued the passenger side on the driver's side. Spread a bit of putty, dried and sanded. Now to get some Molotow on it during the next bench session.

Nice stance. Good catch and correction on the bumper issue.

Looking great Tom..

Finally finished this today. Nothing outstanding but it will look good on the shelf. #7 for this year. Moving to Under Glass.

Great looking build Tom, I will be looking for it.

That came out really nice.

There sure is some chunky tread on those tires! ?

Yeah, definitely not what would be there for a street cruiser but it is what the original builder had going so I stuck with them. Plus, I liked the look of them.
