57 Utility Sedan, Sales Rep's Car.

Ok, I took some liberties in this one. I put the fuelie option under the hood,and the roll bar in side. I kinda figured its the mid 60s and a sales rep for a auto parts/speed parts supplier drives this to various shops around the Southwest, thus, its not rusted out yet. He has a some folders with price sheets and such in them scattered around the interior. The rollbar? well, it does see the occasional run down the strip. The engine is painted black, and the fan and generator are orange, ....why not? perhaps someone at the factory was asleep at the wheel that day, or maybe the current owner rebuilt the engine and used what paint he had? Anyways, the body is finished in Black and Chrysler's "Cool vanilla". I figured, yea its a Mopar color, but it looks like a 50s kinda combo. The tach was placed on the column, and I used clear parts cement to add lenses to the gauges, and over the grille emblem. I also used some on the licsense plate light on the rear bumber. Its not perfect, I scratched the roof while bare metaling it, but I have way to many kits to keep starting over on every one. I also need to add the heater, and the Chevrolet Scripts. I also Painted on some wheel weights, weathered the chassis and engine just a tad. The exhaust was "rusted" since this was the days before stainless was common. I almost forgot, its gonna have a plate from the southwest part of the USA

That is the way I would have ordered it too.

Nicely done light weather on the chassis.

Very well done. I like the added detail, it gives it a nice personal touch.

Great work.

Yeah, this sales rep was making lights and short times between stops! great build!

[kingiguana]

Thanks for the compliments guys ! This was a fun build, it practically fell together. the only assembly issue I had was that the side windows and the side vents, were a tight fit. I had primer, color and clear on it, so if I build another I'll make the openings a tad larger. Overall a great kit, I see myself building more of these, perhaps a gasser, or street machine, the possibilities are endless.
