What's the plan for the bumpers?

Looking forward to seeing how this build progresses. The lower ride really suits this car.

OK, just wondered why you'd stripped them.

Looks like a good kit. I wasn't aware Revell had done a tooling of the '57 Chev in the late 90's! I remember building a street machine version back then but it definitely wasn't this boxing.

Looking forward to seeing the build.

That green is very nice indeed. Not a colour I have commonly seen on '57s but the contrast with the white is excellent.

[othertales]

Good colours progression—love it! Looking great.

VERY nice paintwork job.

Is the chrome BMF or are you painting it?

Beautifully neat chromework, so difficult to get right on that model.  Looking a treat so far.

[triumphfan]

Beautiful bit of masking and painting Rick. The trim looks really sharp.
