meechum68 Posted Monday at 12:15 PM Posted Monday at 12:15 PM This was another fun kit. I didn't take any engine bay pics but it's a throwback to the weekend I-6 daul carb racer, yet good enough to drive daily. I have been a sucker for the 2 tone paint of the 50's and this was my first go. I learned a lot with this. On all 3 of my posts, the start to finish build time was roughly 8 years. Life has a way.... 10

espo Posted Monday at 06:56 PM Posted Monday at 06:56 PM Great looking "50"s paint colors. Notice some slicks on the back. 1
Rattlecan Dan Posted Monday at 10:44 PM Posted Monday at 10:44 PM Looks cool. It's a nice build. Think you should finish the trim. 1

Zippi Posted Tuesday at 12:04 PM Posted Tuesday at 12:04 PM Nice looking 53 Chevy Michael. I like the body style. 1
Greasefinger Posted Wednesday at 07:22 AM Posted Wednesday at 07:22 AM (edited) Nice, clean build. Great color choice, may I ask which color is that, makes it authentic 50’s look. Is this a Monogram kit? I should search for one. Edited Wednesday at 07:34 AM by Greasefinger 1
meechum68 Posted yesterday at 12:46 AM Author Posted yesterday at 12:46 AM I will have to dig in my paint to find the body color, but the roof is Gunmetal by Tamiya, and IRC the body is Testors Turquoise.

I will grab the brand on it, but I did get it at Hobby Lobby if that helps.
