Re: 1/12 57 Chevy
Small update.....finally finished and mounted the fuel cell, made from plastic sheet, bar stock for reinforcement and the straps are covered with aluminium duct tape
 I still have to run the fuel and brake lines, etc.    Front suspension with the metal springs and scratchbuilt shocks is finally in place too. |

Re: 1/12 57 Chevy
Little bit more done today....used some pins(cut down) as the bolts that hold the fuel cell in place and shortened the rear shocks to work with the narrowed rear.
Also made a proportioning valve for the brake lines.   |

Re: 1/12 57 Chevy
Most of the brake/fuel lines are done...just have to join them up under the hood now. I'm not totally happy with the way they came out, but, I guess for a first time....it'll do.
Still some touch ups to do to the axle.      |

Re: 1/12 57 Chevy
Started to get back into the project today....I put it aside to work on something for a friend, and it sorta sucked the life out of me as far as working on models goes. But the worst was getting rear ended by a drunk at highway speed, while I was stopped in traffic!!
My 2012 Mustang was written off with $31k in damage  I walked away and spent a month dealing with all the b.s. til I finally got a new car.Old car   New car  |

Re: 1/12 57 Chevy
Drunken ass drivers suck! They're a menace and their cars should be taken away permanently from them, so they won't be able to do it again (DUI).
Nice work on the kit.
