Yrs ago I saw this car on the internet and fell in love with it. I knew 1 day I was going to build it in scale.  Well today's the day. Heres the real car with the most updated photos.

But Im not a fan of the 6 wheel look. And Im going to build it more like that art that was drawin to create this custom car from.

After 3 hrs of work. This is where Im at.

Going to be an interesting build.  I must agree the six-wheel look is a bit too much.

Thanks. Yeah, the art work for it look a lot better I think.

DON'T CUT THE HOOD!!!   ?

I have to. + the hood also needs 57 Belair hood bullits.

Oh yeah, enjoy seeing builds like this !

Really like the inspirational drawing, don't like the six wheels though so glad your not copying that version !

Personally, I'd leave the 57 bullets off, they only appear on the six wheeler and look out of place ..

Be watching your progress !

?IMHO it would look better without the silver and blue carbs but that's just my opinion...

Very cool! Can't wait for next update. My 2.5 cents...agree with loosing the six wheel, but like the velocity stacks. Build on.
