PappyD340 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Hey guys this is my 55 vette, my goal on this build was to try and capture what a backyard one man drag team of the late 50's early 60's might have looked like, box stock except for an altenator bracket and plug wires. Paint is Testors one coat copper metallic with Rustoleum 2X gloss clear top is Rustoleum gloss black with 2X clear, wheels and tires are out of the parts stash, and BMF. This is the first build in about 10 years. All comments welcome!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JunkPile Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 It does have that "back in the day" look about it. That kit requires quite a bit of bodywork and you did a nice job with it. Looks great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
