Show Winner from 1993 - '55- '57 Chevy

[Spooky 52]

I built this show winner, '55- '57 Chevy in 1993 as a replica of 1:1 car from my high school days (1967). The guy who owned was a Junior in Auto shop.

Different, and interesting...

Sweet! I wonder how many will look at this and not realize what's happened to this car?! It  solves the one weak spot in the '57 design (IMHO), and that is the heavy look of the chrome-catfish-lip bumper. Thanks for sharing!

That's really cool. It took me a moment to figure out what you did.

Very subtle and well executed.

I like the conversion and the look of it.

Your pretty sneeky ?.

Nice job blending the two body designs.

That's easily enough fixed. Unbolt it and drag it behind the garage, or to the swap meet, or throw it in the parts box, depending on what scale you're working in.

Nice looking ride.  You gotta have the fuzzy dice.

Nice! I remember seeing a pic of this build in one of those old SAE annuals or what have you, back in the 90s.

Very nice!

Looks great!

Thanks for the positive comments. If anybody is interested, I can show you what I did with the left-over parts from that build.

Two cool cars blended together into something even more cool! Really like that!

[Spooky 52]

This is what happened to the left over parts. The decals, I made myself.

I like that one even better! It really works! (Now I might have to build one myself.) VERY well done and model on!
