I have been working on this one for awhile...it started as an 1/16th scale AMT 34 Ford, Cobra and 57 Chevy. The HEMI is from a vintage Street Charger. The Headers are modified Revell pipes.

This has such a great look and the stance is just right and it's not too short or too long , you got a good thing going here and I can't wait to see what color it will be B)

Thanks for the kind words Walt! I just painted the body with Tamiya Mica Red, added lots of flame decals and then Tamiya Clear finished it up. Finished Photos coming soon!

It isn't finished yet, but here is a side view with the paint & decals. The flame decals are from Revell's 49 Mercury. The 57 Chevy Graphics are from Slixx.

I totally dig the '57 Chevy trim. Nice choice. I didn't see your vision right away but now that it's nearing completion I can see what you saw all along! Great build so far.

This is looking sweet. Nice paint scheme and graphics. The flames are a nice touch on this one. That interior looks great. I especially like the center console. Looking forward to seeing this one done!

I am making Flame Tail Lights from "Ceramic Christmas Tree Light Decorations". I bought these at a ceramic/crafts store many years ago.

I put each plastic flame light in a drill chuck and filed them down to the right size.

Almost finished!!!

Finished photos are coming soon.
