57 chevy gasser

[sobpinstriping]

hello again, i finished this up a few days ago waiting for some models to come in the mail.

Its my first attempt at kitbashing, ive had the body and most of the parts sitting in a box for years, so i thought i would give it a go.

This is also my first time using sophisticated finishes for the rust, im sure I'll get better with it the more i use it. for the headers i scratch built them out of solder and cut the collecters off of some headers that wouldent work for me( i wished i would of taken pics of them before i put it together they looked really good). I used a clear blue for the windows but it got really foggy, o well. The last thing i was pretty proud of which you cant see is i used a vapor barrer (silver paper used to cover insulation on walls, I got it off a job site) for dynamat, I'm going to start taking pics as i build.

I know its not as good as a lot of people here but I'm still learning. As always comments are very welcome.

cheers

[Chuck Most]

Wow! Very nice... ESPECIALLY considering this is your first rodeo with kitbashing and weathering! We'll be needing to keep a close eye on this cat, for sure!

[Guest old man]

NICE BUILD FOR YOUR 1ST TIME AT THIS. WELL DONE

[Greg Cullinan]

Nice work,the weathering is realistic and the gasser treatment looks true too.

Looks good!

I like it. Looks very authentic. Nice work. The headlight is a great touch, as is the trim removal.
