Well, I thought it would be fun to archive my work here, and show the progress of what I am doing on my 57' Vette. So far, I have the body primered, and painted red. I just finished giving it all a good rub down with 1500 grit sandpaper. I have to touch up a few spots, then I will give it a spray of clearcoat and polish it.

Well, it is a little different then 'stock'. I am going to try and lower the stance a bit. How it is now, it looks like they want it to be a 4x4. :)

So, if it was a particularly high-riding Bentley, you would? :finger: :silly2: j/k

Well, the engine lookslike a engine. :) But when I got all these models, there were a few chrome parts paks that came with it. I think I might try and use some of those.

Damn, I messed up tonight. I was going to glue some vents on the fenders, and the glue spooged out. :mad: So now I have to try and clean that off.
I had a thought. I can get empty syringes from my friend who is diabetic. Do you think it would be possible to squirt glue out of those?

In those sort of cases only use *micro kristal clear*....dries clear and wont harm your paint.
