'51 Chevy 2nd Chance




As previously posted, here is the car back at home with me! This was built back in late 2003 and sold on eBay in 2005. When I got a chance to get it back and do "better" on it than back then, I took it! The plan is to sit low and it will depend on what the body looks like whether paint flies. The roof alone is bothering me with the mold lines still there, so that has to get done.

Seeing double?



Lyle Willits posted on TRaK showing a 1:1 version of a '49 Merc wagon "what if" car and his own creation of the car in 1/25 scale. I thought that was neat. At the same time I was reading that post, I was going through some magazines I have here looking for inspiration. Ran across a '32 5window that looks almost exactly like the model I built! The 1:1 is a highboy , has different headers....but damn it looks close!

The right color



Here is the second '25 T that I am restoring from a glue bomb. I just didn't like the first color, but after some debating and advice from friends at "Traditional Rod and Kustom in scale" , I was able to make up my mind. Thanks guys!
The color I didn't like was the Deep Jewell Green. Not only did I see some ugly blemishes that needed rescued, but the white top was TOO bright on that color. I am sticking with the Mystical Marroon.
