Pat Minarick Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Another cool build! Love this thing. Thanks Mike ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Lookin' kooooool! Just a thought; since you're going for the stock car look, maybe all four wheels/tires the same size? Thanks Rusty ! More of a dirt track car , and I think it looks more Car-toonish with the smaller front wheels . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bisc63 Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 ... I think it looks more Car-toonish with the smaller front wheels . Agreed. Now that I look it over, it works well with the body/wheel openings proportions. Any thoughts yet on a color scheme for this bad 57? Can't wait to see the end product!

Mooneyzs Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Pat.... I am loving this project. This is too cool. I was so inspired by ira's deals wheels builds that I was able to find a couple a hobby shop in my home town when i was visiting there a couple weeks ago. These look like fun builds for sure. I really want to pick up one of these '57 kits too. Looking forward to more. Everything is perfect on this build... love the stance and the wheels. Nice work!!

shucky Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 That air cleaner and wing nut are off the chain!! May I ask what the drivers arms are made from? They look sculpted from something. Such a cool build! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 That is a really cool idea and you're off to a great start, Pat! I think you're nailing it right on. Love the bumpers, exhaust and the way it sits. Thanks Dirk ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Minarick Posted August 30, 2013 Author Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ooh! Roy had a toothpick in his mouth as he smiled for the cameras!!!! I didn't forget ,I will add it when I paint Agreed. Now that I look it over, it works well with the body/wheel openings proportions. Any thoughts yet on a color scheme for this bad 57? Can't wait to see the end product! I was thinking of keeping it yellow ,flat black hood ,painted on '57 side trim ,and red 57 numbers and lettering ROY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira's Car-toon contest got me into building them . I have a couple more started and some idea's for some more . This one started from a glue bomb ,but I have a brand new one that I won from Ira's contest. I think it's going to be a Black Widow car They are fun to do,I would really like to see what you would do to one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to do the '57 cause it looks to be a gasser to me and totally cool. I was able to score one of the Camaro's and a Firebrid. Which I think I will be doing the Camaro first and was thinking of ditching the engine sticking out of the hood.....to creating a Cowl Hood for it. I think it would definitely make it different. And I am already trying to figure out what color to go with for it...lol I really need some fun and easy builds that will be quick builds because all I have been working on for the past 2-1/2 years has been my detailed 1/16th scale Army Vega it seems like...lol Looking forward to more updates.

I've looked at your Vega , It looks beautiful . I still haven't made it through all 117 pages The Firebird would look great in black and gold ,it would go with the Big and Little Enos Burdette Caddy I want to build ,cow horns, blue suits with yellow ties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the kinds comments about my Vega F/C and taking the time to go thru the pages. I know there is a lot of pages to thru. That would be cool for the firebird to be black and gold. That caddy sounds like a killer project. Love the idea of cow horns on it. I am debating on painting the camaro HOK planet green with either black or white stripes but still not sure yet lol.
