Jantrix Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 I hate to bring this up now but the chassis from the Revell '67 Chevelle fits under that '51 with very little work and the wheelbase is dead on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonFL Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 You always have some cool projects going on Bryan. I was liking your plans for the suspension, wish I was good with measuring so I could build some cool suspension work. Right now im trying to figure out how to bag my 49 merc. I had built a custom truck back in the day and I rolled around for the longest time with green primer similar to that green interior, it ended up with the nickname "Sweet-Pea". I think that would be a good name for this project, just my suggestion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZTony8 Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 For a color I'll suggest Tamiya TS-60 light pearl green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmvw guy Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 I like this one Bryan! That interior is killer with all the details. I think I reconise the steering wheel as a '58 Impala. I've always loved these old Chevys and still have never built one, maybe you will be an inspiration for me. I think green is becoming the new red for hot rods. Love your choices so far! Your digging out an old project like this has got me wondering, how many do I have? I'll have to get the calculator out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miatatom Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Love the 57! I commented on someone elses thread that I almost bought a 1:1 57 150 just before I got out of the Navy in 66 but spent the money on an engagement ring. I told my son that story as we stood in front of one at a car show and concluded it with "and you know the rest of the story because here you stand". He just laughed and grinned.
