55 Chevy slammer

Post by sandboarder »

Getting close to a roadblock on my Firebird so I thought I'd start this one. Plan is to do a slammed 55 Chev. Do not know if it'll be a kerb side or not atm. I have the kit, the paint and hopefully enough bits to fab a new chassis. Here's where I'm at currently.

Unsure of wheels but I hope to use body coloured steelies with white wall tyres. First mock. Interior fits fine but the chassis not going to be use ohno

The racing white for the roof and the model master mint green for the body. Using the AS-5 for the interior. Hopefully it'll be a fun little project that I finish crossed

Nah because I already have the paint (shown in first pic) plus I really like the 50s Aqua style colours.
