DIg's "Jurassic 5" Bel Air

[dig]

Hey guys, here is a 55 Bel Air I had a little fun with. Paint is Model Masters Citrus Yellow Metallic and One Coat Graphite w/ One Coat's Clear. Seats are out of AMT's 57 Fairlane kit. LS7 engine, Aoshima wheels. Variety of photoetch, photo reduced and scratchbuilt stuff all throughout.

Thanks for all the comps fellas!

Good eye, yeah it's Fear and Loathing.

[CorvairJim]

Oh man, the little details are over the top on this thing!

(But isn't it just a tad dangerous to watch videos on your sun visor while tooling along the Interstate?)

[TheCat]

Very very cool looking build you have there.

[JasonFL]

I was going to say, I was pretty sure that was fear and loathing. This is a great build, with some really great details. I love what you did with it and the color choice is perfect.

[Roncla]

Nice build. Everything sits just right

Thanks for all the kind words. There was a point at final assembly where I kinda freaked over how much chrome there was. I'd gotten so used to seeing w/o, I wasn't sure if I was going to like. It's my favorite though! Hopefully you guys will dig my next project

Jim: lol. Let's pretend the monitors only work w/ the E brake. Great toy to have on those Power Tour rest stops or at the drive-in diners!
