16th scale 1955 BelAir Street Rod

[Mr.1/16th]

This is my eBay score that I took and rebuilt to make this 55 Street Rod build that I really love back from the 90’s. Had to make a few changes and upgrade the look to what I wanted and achieved. Thanks to Texas3d and scratch building I finished and imaging a classic driver that I would own myself. It has a 409 with auto trans detailed and plumbed as accurate as I could for the realism look. Let me know what you all think!

Beautiful build there mate! Nice to see some 1/16 beeing built!

Very cool, love to see the big scale stuff customized.

What is the source for the wheels, 4-link, etc.  - is that all scratch built, 3D, etc?

The wheels are from 1:18th diecast donors and 3D printed hine joints and scratch built linkage. I have a lot of extra everything to built these and I have a few more at the moment! The best kits to have are the Revell 34 phantom and coupe kits!

Also I recommend going into the past street Rod hot rod and street machine magazines for inspiration
