Ace-Garageguy Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 (edited) That is the baddest, trickest, slickest, meanest, and just plain coolest '57 I've ever seen. I've been bored out of my skull by '57s for years, but man, that thing is just totally wicked. Glad to see you did a drop-top, too. This one needs to get built 1:1. And thanks for the satin-chrome tip. It looks perfect. Edited August 3, 2012 by Ace-Garageguy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOSWELL891 Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Nice work everything looks good except I think the back end sits up too high or the front too low but still looks great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan S. Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I love it. What a phenomenal '57. I have to agree that these have gotten kind of cookie-cutter, but yours walks up, slaps you in the face and says look at me! One of the best models I've seen on here. Question, how did you do the plug boots on the distributor? They look so cleanly done and real! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DumpyDan Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Wow this is very nice, I have several of these kits, and am dying to do something on the same line, but more lowrider. I have chrome spokes wheels, and now I have some motivation. Back to you, your detail work is very well done, love the under car detail. I could go on and on. What the other guys said.
