Started this about a year and a half ago and finished it up this passed weekend. The body was painted with MCW enamel calypso cream with no clear coat. The kit wheels and tires were changed out for a set of white walls on chrome reverse wheels. I also added radiator supports, red fuel line, plug wires, coil, raccoon tail and a oil fill tube that Revell forgot about. Thanks for looking!

This little Hotrod put a smile on my face when I saw it. Excellent job. Gary

LOVE IT! Brings back many memories of the 50's and 60's type of simple rodding.

That’s so keenly Sharp! Love it, color is spot on for the period, yeller almost seems to be one of the colors that got the most coverage in the 50’s Hot Rod magazines, or maybe those are the ones I remember! LoL!! Wheels and tires, ooh yeah, there just aren’t enough plain old chrome reverse wheels, I remember more chrome reverse wheels from pre-65 era than anything else, so they just ring my chime! LoL!! Anybody can bolt on a pair of mags, but it really takes someone with a clear vision of what a Hot Rod really is to choose plain old chrome reverse or even painted wheels over them! They just give a Hot Rod that classic style! Oh, yeah I sorta forgot to say, I really like it!
