Just realized I didn't include any "before" seat pixs..here you go

Added half round styrene to the top of the seats and finished it with stretched sprue.

That's is so freakin cool. Would of never known it was scratch built if you hadn't posted those photos. I gotta start trying this "stretching of sprue" thing.

The Chevy belair 409 kit has the 409 in it. The only external difference on all the W motors is the dipstick location and inlet manifolds.

It not noticeable on our scale, but the other difference is there is an X cast in the block (raised) under the passenger side cylinder head, it's about two inches tall & quite prevalent on the full size engines.

Bottles are scrap clear sprue and the chip bags were a fellow club member donation(thanks Gene).

Thanks Y'all..

Well I taped up the body for the Dupli-Color Bahama Blue Metalic..sadly the weather isn't cooperating.

The background pix is of a 56 Chevy I found in one of my Rod and Custom magazine.

I also made some laminated knobs in clear blue and white styrene.

I scored some clear blue tubing at a club meeting for .99 cents.

We hold our meetings at Hobby Town here in the Ol' Dominion.

Close up of rear panel body work...does two things for me..mimics the front end

and cleans up the sudden stop the side trim has.

Ouch! Hate that...

Oddly enough, I painted this kit the same colors back when it first came out...and was also visited by Mr. Murphy in nearly the same fashion.

Looks good, though. I really like the taillight treatment.

I can't believe all the details. WOW. I would have screwed up the grille in 5 minutes. Those blue knobs are the cats you know what.
