Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 This one is a AMT '51 Chevy Fleetline I built last year. It's almost box stock, I just added spark plug wires, heater hoses, and coil springs on the front suspension. The paint is Tamiya TS-11 Maroon, and two 100ml spray cans were used. The interior and engine were painted with Testors Enamels, custom mixed, and the flor pans and frame were paintedwith Testors acrylic semigloss black. Hope you like it!! Thanks for looking.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 Forgot to tell that I did a modification to the hood. The central trim piece wasn't supposed to be chrome plated, asit only serves as a finishing device for the meeting of the two hood halves on the real car, but my grandfather owned a '51 Chevy, and he had the trim chromed, and the hood emblem removed, so I kind of copyed him.
Harry P. Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 It looks good! And I love how you have those "weeds" growing in the cracks of the "asphalt" in your display base... nice touch!

Scuderia Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 thats gorgeous, and the trim piece on the hood was a nice touch. I like it chrome like that. Great stuff
Bartster Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Nice old Chevy. Looks like it's ready to go to church on Sunday morning.
Lovefordgalaxie Posted May 12, 2012 Author Posted May 12, 2012 Thanks!! This is a great kit, I had some trouble with the engine bay sides, the so called inner fenders, but that was my fault, not the kit's.
Grumpa Posted May 12, 2012 Posted May 12, 2012 Looks like it just drove off of the lot. I like the chrome trim on the hood. That's a nice touch. Nice, clean, and uncluttered build.
rmvw guy Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Nice and classy looking in that color. I like the parking lot lines it makes a nice diorama for photo shoot.
crazyjim Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Mom & Dad had a car just like that way back when. Nice build.
bbowser Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Excellent build, even tho it's not a Galaxie . Great job.
Sixties Sam Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 Very nice clean build! I like your choice of color, and it looks good on the 51. Good work! Sam
