😋 yep! My goals are a clean build with some details. 😎 That's a worthy objective, especially when you're getting back into building. I keep getting bogged down with details, maybe time for a slump buster or OOB build.

Good idea! I did a bunch of those before because I was getting burnt out on doing so much detail

Love them side pipes! A friend of mine was doing some rendering ideas for his '61 Chevy, his koolest kustom rendering has a set of straight side pipes like yours ans then behind the rear wheels a smaller pair of Bellflower pipes. Never seen that combo, but his rendering looked really nice with them, for wheels he had Radirs with a thin redline tire almost Lowrider size, which was the only thing that needed a bit more ironing out for my taste. It did sit right down on the frame rails though! That dual side idea pipe might look interesting on your '57 Ford Kustom!

I have seen that combination you are talking about on real cars

This looks like an interesting build, plus that it's great to see you back on the bench! These '57 Fords have a lot of potential for some Customizing so I know this will be really cool when it's done. I think the narrow whites look very good, the wide whites are probably a bit too wide. But something from between might just be the best choice. I really like those hubcaps.

Thanks to Dennis, I have the perfect set of white walls for this build! The front tire has a curb check but don't worry it will be hidden in the rear, this is just a mock-up to see how they look and I love them! I guess the next step is to start cleaning up parts and assembling the motor and as well deciding if I want to detail the engine or not. I don't usually display my models with the hood open but sometimes you got to do it

I need a T-shirt that says 'Don't be like Bob!' LOL!
Those tires are the best option yet after looking over your previous choices! I'm glad to see it moving forward!
