'57 Chevy "Black Widow'

[tomwes]

In 1957 Chevrolet had 3 different 2 door sedans available, the Bel Air, 210 and 150 Utility. The 150 Utility was the base model with the back seat removed for extra storage space. The 150 Utility Sedan equipped with a new Ramjet fuel injection engine made for a race ready stock car.

Here is my entry:

Nice one Tom. I am wondering wher the red diamond is though.

Cool choice

Seconding that, Tom! I've heard nothing but good things about that kit, best wishes and karma.

Not a whole lot to show right now but this is where I'm at so far:


Engine block painted Chevy engine red

Chassis assembled and painted

Interior is to be painted light gray, the kit included decals for the seats and door interiors (nice)!

And the classic look of the '57 Chevy body

I also tried something different with the chrome parts, I left the chrome on and overpainted with MM enamel gloss black then painted them with Alclad aluminum. I should have used gloss white instead, the parts look too dark and I need to order some Alclad II bright chrome for the front and rear bumpers, etc.

Thanks for looking, Tom

Neat idea about the chrome. Thanks Tom.

That looks like a Chevy block Tom

Looking good Tom.

 

[Iron Mike]

Keep going, looking good!

Toms Brother has Offered to send me this kit to finish. Will you guys help me as there might be some parts missing and I am not back to the hobby so long.

I would love to see you finish it for Tom but I don't have the kit to offer any spares...

Regards,

Hi Dave , Great idea, I could send the kit and you could send back what you don't use?
