AMT 51 Chevy Bel Air Convertible Mild Custom

[Yeah Nah]

Did this one a while back. Not sure where the wheels came from but otherwise built entirely with kit options.

Not my best work but not too bad.

Thanks for looking!

Looks really good! A clean street cruiser, the straight six is a cool touch, too.

[Zippi]

It looks nice and smooth with all the badging removed.  Pretty slick looking straight 6 in the business end.  Nice build.

Beautiful color and very clean build, I dig it. I just love the cars from the 50's.

[bbowser]

Very nice, love the stovebolt!

[Rattlecan Dan]

Very clean looking build. Really nice work. Nicely subtle.

[ncbuckeye67]

Beautiful! I love the color combination, and the straight 6.

[Mittagskind]

Really nicely built.

Great looking body work and paint. Like the way you opened the rear wheel wells. The body color and contrasting top look good.

Two carburettors I do understand . . . but why two ignition coils ? . . . Would it be 2 x 6 volts ?

Could be just AMT 'artistic license' David. But then perhaps such a set-up with an extra plug on the distributor did actually exist. Maybe some forum member who knows can help....?

Looks great! Count me in that camp that loves the color. ? Do you recall what brand / name paint you used?

Thanks Tim. My usual home brew of acrylic art paints with floor clear over the top.

Looking great!

The dual coil set up was a hot rodding technique of the era.
