Steve_L Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 These are pictures of my 1957 Chevy Sedan Delivery that was built for the 2007 ACME Southern Nationals NNL. I combined a 1957 Chevy Sedan Delivery resin kit from ModelHaus and the old tool AMT/Ertl 1957 Chevy Plastic kit. This car is a "phantom" junior stock drag racing car from the early 1960's. It is a phantom because the 283 cubic inch 283 horsepower V8 apparently was not available in the sedan delivery body. The engine is from the AMT/Ertl plastic kit, but I substituted the 4-speed Hydromatic transmission from the Revell 283 Parts Pack engine. I resin cast the fuel injection parts including the air cleaner. I also fabricated the ribbed air hose and the air intake. I used a few of parts from the Model Car Garage photo-etch kit for the AMT/Ertl old tool 57 Bel Air. I used Duplicolor Ford Silver spray paint for the base coat and Kilz Casual Colors for the clear coat. Chrome trim was handled with Bare Metal Foil. I created the Quicksilver decals on my computer and made a licence tag that says "HIYOAG." (AG is the chemical symbol for silver). This was not a show stopper, by any means, but it was a fun project. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisher61 Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 Not a show stopper ? I beg to differ, Steve! It looks like it's right out of 60's Hot Rod magazine! Beautiful work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramonesblues Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I'm a '57 Chevy fanatic and this delivery is amazing. Love the uncorked headers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
