Cool Hand Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Started this build 2 years ago, but it stalled out for some reason that I cant recall. Recently got it back on the bench for completion. Its a decent kit for Snaptite. I built it for the purpose of practicing and learning how to airbrush SMS pearl paints. Sometimes its good to do simple builds that will help to develop new skills. Wip can be seen in my build thread 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted September 4 Share Posted September 4 Like the smooth body work. Removing the gun sights from the hood along with the signage on the front and rear trunk was often done when these were new. Removing some of the signature side trim also makes the body look longer and smoother. Great looking stance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TransAmMike Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 I'm not a customized '57 Chevy fan but I do like what you've done on this one Luke. The '57 SnapTite kit to me is actually a darn nice kit....I've done 2. Great job? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ncbuckeye67 Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 That paint is gorgeous! Love the ride height & the stance too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReduitRetro Posted September 5 Share Posted September 5 Holy smokes that's NICE! Removing emblems and other body details not only smooths out the body, but it allows your eyes to just take in the classic iconic lines of the car. And the paint application brings it all home for me. Love the stance, the reversed rake and rear squat, and the perfect wheel choice for the look. Great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STU111 Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 Oh yeah, that’s smooth. Removal of the ribbed Belair side panel trim is a simple but effective touch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
