roadhawg Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Just when I think 55s have gotten boring, something like this comes along. This is very nice indeed, especially the color choice. Big ol' thumbs up!
crispy Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Tom, that's a beautiful build. Perfect colors and wheels. Great job! Chris
MADmodelDOCTOR Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Great looking '55! I never get bored with '55 Chevys. later,
ricky12 Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 nice job looks great tom . got a question what you use for your paint divider chrome ? i got atwo tone i'm working on iu used e peace rocker pannel crome from a 66.
crazyjim Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 Nice, clean build Tom. Where does everybody get the DupliColor paint? the local Wal-Mart has only touch up bottles of the stuff - no more spray cans.
Harry P. Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Beautiful! And the DupliColor really gives it that touch of realism. Jim, DupliColor paint is sold in just about any auto parts store... Murray's, Pep Boys, NAPA... whatever chain is in your neck of the woods. It's great stuff, you'll like it.
Lyle Willits Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 Tom - beautiful build. Love the colors. Uh,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"re came out" ? They must have weird schools in Ohio.

Nick F40 Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 It has to be clean to really catch my eye and wow, this is my style. I like how clean it all looks, the paint is perfect, the wheels are perfect, the details are perfect, this is so well done, good job!
