TransAmMike Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 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: Did a modification to the roll bar from the kit configuration And thanks for looking!!? 2 1
Zippi Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Looks pretty sweet there Buddy. Co!or looks great and the stance turned out fantastic. I'm diggin those blue tented windows. Great job.
Painted Black Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 Looking real cool in that paint scheme.. Seems to have the leaning front wheel problem that this kit has.
espo Posted December 17, 2021 Posted December 17, 2021 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.
