Steve_L Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 This is not a new build, but the photos and polishing job are brand new. (Yes, I still have '57 Chevy fever...) These are pictures of my 1957 Chevy Candy Red Custom car. It is based on the AMT/Ertl Boyd Coddington American Hot Rods release. I liked their look so I used the custom parts from the kit and also pancaked the hood and hinged it from the front. It is painted with Varsity White primer, Krylon Gold lacquer, Black Gold candy red lacquer and topped off with Tamiya clear lacquer. The interior is a flat white, and is detailed with Bare Metal foil and paint. I installed the Revell parts pack chrome 283 engine, topped with an aluminum air cleaner from the old Ala Kart kit. I used Pegasus disk brakes and the big and little mag wheels from the Pro Modeler 1959 Corvette kit. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven W Zimmerman Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Great job, on a classic - both the car and the model ! brings back memories of being a teen ( MANY moons ago) and trying to use those custom parts, using 'PLASTIC WOOD' for filler, and pilfering my dad's sandpaper from his workbench; probably like, 100 grit !.......Best rendition of this, with the custom parts, I have seen in a long, long time. Didn't realize those tires would fit that kit.............'Z' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
