And another '57 "Flipper" Show and Go

[TransAmMike]

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!!?

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

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.

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.
