After a few months of hair pulling I have finally finished this '57 Chevy "flipper".    The 3 paint colors are Createx pearls and they are cleared with Rusto Crystal Clear Acrylic Lacquer.  The rear suspension was lowered a bit to achieve a slight rake. The wheels are staggered Fireball Model Works Cragers sprayed with Molotow. The rear tires are Mickey Thompson S/S L-60's from Fireball. 

So here's a some pictures:

Looks pretty sweet there Buddy.  Co!or looks great and the stance turned out fantastic.  I'm diggin those blue tented windows.  Great job.

Beautiful looking paint job. A lot of masking there. ASll of the fine engine and chassis detailing looks like it's ready for thew Gasser Wars. The tinted plexiglass windows are a nice touch.

Looking real cool in that paint scheme.. Seems to have the leaning front wheel problem that this kit has.

Yep, the lean is there but not too bad.

Yes David, the masking was a more than I would have liked to have to do, probably no 3 color paint jobs in my future.  Thanks for the compliments!!

Thanks Dominik, when I saw a similar  1:1 car in this color scheme I thought about this kit, so I had to do it.
