Harry P. Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Gorgeous. I simply love that shade of green in rear half of car. Oh and its nice to see slant six there. That's no Slant Six. Chrysler has the Slant Six. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick Winter Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 That's no Slant Six. Chrysler has the Slant Six. that's correct, that is a Chevrolet Straight Six, and a nicely built one at that, Very Nice build Adam. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlie8575 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Adam, that came out beautifully. The two-tone green with the brown interior looks really nice. The whole project comes right together. Really great work. Charlie Larkin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

W-409 Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Really cool! I like the color scheme, and that color in the back of the car is looking awesome. Paintjob is great too. I like the wheels and tires, they look very realistic. So does the engine. Nice to see one Blue Flame six cylinder engine there. I like this one as a model, but if it would be real car, I'd change that engine to Chevy 283". Model looks good anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Real clean. I'm kinda jaded (no pun referring to the color ) on tri- five Chevys, but I do like this, right down to the Stovebolt. Sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
