I had 4 of these when I build the sedan and the derelict and ended up with a full kit less some odds parts and I decided to build it as a bland, unremarkable uncle Joe sunday ride Chevy. Missing Wheels and hub caps from the part box. A real nice kit with it's own issues here and there but a fun to put together. I remember seeing a lot of these sitting in junkyards on my way back from school.  Pure white for the top and Tamiya green for the body.

Thanks for your time.

For a cast-off body the paint looks really good. The multi part body can make this a challenge to build, but your body here looks great. A friend of mine in high school had a '50 hard top in the popular shade of grey primer.

Sometimes the car is lost in your great photography. Nice work on both fronts. 

Thanks Harry.I have come to enjoy photographing models as much as building them.

Well done. Any engine pics?

Thanks Lee. There was a lot of missing parts so I quickly put together a small block chevy but I did not really detailed it. I kept the inline six for another project.

Thanks David. Not the easiest  kit but after building 4 of them I find it easier to avoid the major issues. I would not recommend this kit for a beginner.
