1955 Chevy Bel Air Convertable

[cchapman195]

I built this kit as a tribute to my father. It is a replica of a car he had when he was younger. Biggest regret he had was selling this because it messed my mothers hair up with the top down. I wish I would have built this before he passed away. I think he would have liked to display this one.

Looks SUPER Chris, except for that one HUGE black wire in the engine compartment. Is that supposed to be the negative ground cable? I'll send you the proper gauge wire for it if you don't have any.

I'm sure your father would have LOVED it!

Thank you Lee, my father bought the car painted that color by the previous owner. I believe the interior was factory though. He only mention the paint had been done on it. Jeff thank you as well for the comments. That black line was supposed to replicate a wiring harness that has all the wires that go up into the headlight and horn in the grill. Now that you mention it it does look quite large and also to be coming from the negative battery post. I guess I got excited to finish and really did not pat attention to the size. Thank you for the kind offer of sending some wire but I do have different scale wire. I will need to get it off the shelf and re think that. lol.
