AMT Chevy Bel Air X 1957

[Sportabout]

This Chevy was originally bought as a donor kit, but most of the parts were left unused, so I decided to make it a model with some modifications.

I tested some paints for my Rambler '59 project and the Chevy looked so special that this two tone paint can stay on the model.

 

The gas tank and spare tire cover have been taken from the chassis , and the new ones were obtained from the '58 Edsel Pacer kit.

 

There are some changes in the engine and some may recognize which V8 it is.

 

The seats in the interior also went to the Rambler, so the Edsel gets to give its interior to this one. Only the dashboard was left of the Chevy.

The engine is almost finished, but the valve covers need to be repainted when the Revell Chrome spray wears off. The engine compartment had to be made more room by removing the radiator wall and it will be installed in a suitable place later.
