You know... I keep telling myself I don't want to buy this kit, and then I see another clean build like yours, and I have to second guess my logic!

Very nice custom Chevy. What colors were used on the interior? They really accent the Tamiya orange paint nicely.

Love that frontal view with the grill.

I used a couple shades of light tan from Polly Scale. Under the new style "save the planet, curly Q light bulbs", the colors look yellowish.

That is beautiful! I'm diggin' the recessed license plate and the grille especially.

Looks great Lyle. Where can one pick up some embossing powder?

[whale392]

Hobby Lobby, scrapbooking stores, and sometimes places like Wal-Mart (in their craft section) is a good place to find embossing powder. Best bet........Scrapbooking stores.

Nice looking 57........colors really bring it to life.

[Lyle Willits]

Phil - all Micheals stores carry embossing powder in many colors. I just buy the white powder because, after it dries onto whatever surface, it can be painted any color.

Nice job on that one Lyle!!! I thought the seats were yelloegreen too and asked myself why would he do that.

[crazyjim]

A most excellent build.

That's a beauty, Lyle! Really well done! Great colors, and I like the recessed license plate. Chevy should have made them that way!
