1953 Chevy Bel Air Restomod

[Zippi]

Just finished this one earlier today.  The 572 BB Chevy with the Cross-Ram Air, American Torque Thrust 22" Wheels & Tires, Accel Coil, and brake buster were printed out on my 3d printer.  The Chassis was modified to get a lower stance.  Body paint is Tamiya Gloss Black and the interior is Rust-Oleum Colonial Red.  This build was not without it's issues but like always I seem to overcome them.  Except for the bmf all the chrome is Rust-Oleum Mertallic Finish Chrome.  The jury is in and it's unanimous.....I just can't do bmf anymore.  Old age is kicking my backside I guess.  Hope you fellows like this one.

Looks great Bob, overall a classy looking ride. You know im liking the black red combo with all that chrome.

And yeah its inspiring and motivating how you always push through and overcome problems and get your builds done.

Job well done sir.
