‘57 Chevy gasser show and go

Recommended Posts

I’m calling this one done. Built right of the box with the only add on was that I wired the engine (pre wired distributor)

I wanted it to look like something you would see at World of Wheels show. This is a decent kit, but the rear shocks, tail lights and bumper took some work for my skill level. I don’t like chrome headlights, so I mixed some clear Elmer’s glue with a drop of white paint, and painter them with a toothpick .  I should add that there was a trust to the kit, I did my best to make it work.

  Here are some pics:

I think I need brighter lighting in my photo box. Any comments welcome and thanks for looking

Great job on it Chaz!!   If I ever get the paint to match on the flip hood to match the body on mine I'll be posting pics of mine too.

Anyway, I like yours and a very nice color?

Thanks Mike!  I’m happy with the way it turned out

 

What color did you go with?

The front clip doesn't sit perfectly, but I'll post a pic tonight  

Yeah. I've got a few hours in trying to make mine fit right, and I don't have it to my satisfaction yet. 

I had the same problem with the Monogram '66 Chevelle and the AMT/MPC '57 Corvette. And I can tell I'm gonna have it with the Monogram '60 Chevy sedan delivery. :unsure:

Here is a pick with the flip-front down.  I'll probably never display it this way, so its good enough for me....
