That '57 is as cool as socks on a rooster (friend of mine says that...I still don't know what that means, but to him it's something really cool).
I love the Buick grill and filled gunsights, classic customizing. Paint's great. Nice job.
What hubcaps are those?

She's a beaut! I dig the fact that this is a model you started ages ago and only recently finished. Those stories are just so darn cool. That big chrome double air cleaner looks good in the engine bay.

Good to see these projects being completed that have been stalled for decades! That turned out really nice. Especially the color is just right for a '57 and I like the whole overall look. It shows that you don't need to do a lot of body mods to these things in order to create a tasty Mild Custom. Nice work.

Simple. clean, great paint, excellent bodywork, & it captures the late 50s/early 60s mild custom style perfectly!

On the fender skirts from the 59 Chevy, Revell or Monogram, either way you're right, as it's been resissued under the Revell banner:
