'51 Chevy Fleetline "Rat"

[ChevyCoupe41]

I got this Chevy finished last evening. The bonnet was missing when i bought it, and that is the reason why it was long time unbuilt. A couple of weeks ago I found in a parts box Chevy 396 engine and some parts of the blower. I put the engine paint removal, and I painted all the parts again. I also put the plug wires and fuel line on it. The main reason why I made the body look like little bit of rat styled it that I had not done for a long time for this style of car.The interior is box stock except the shifter which I found in parts Box.

All in all, I am very happy with the result. The building had very fun.

Here's few pics of Chevy.

Thanks for looking!

convincing build; looks like it came right off the pages of "Ol Skool Rodz"... R2 just re-released the Fleetline kit in a tin box and they are absolutely NUTS if they think it's going to sell at that price, anniversary edition or not.

Cool looking Chevy! I dont know, how long the rear tires will give contact if the driver let it fly. Burn, buddie burn! Smell the rubber

This turned out great, you managed to get very realistic look to that body. Engine looks great too, details are great. I like it very much, can't wait to see it in person.

Yes that's the way, of course.
