Re: WIP: Customer's Bigblock 1956 Chevy

Some updates. The body's been painted and clearcoated, the top with GM Pure White and the bottom with Cranberry Pearl, not violet, sorry. Haven't polished it yet though. And yes, the purple's a little rough along the trim, but it's getting Bare-metal Foil over it anyway, so you won't see any of that.

Engine's done except for the carb/air cleaner, still waiting for the customer to confirm what they are. Chassis complete, had to move the leaf springs inboard a little to fit those massive rear tires.

Interior's done, gunmetal grey, rear seat removed and sheet styrene in place of it (real car has no back seat.) Dash is body colour, gauges and clock were detailed with an art pencil. I borrowed (cough cough) the idea from proosen to use a dried baby wipe for the carpet instead of flocking--it's SO much easier and still looks quite good, I think.
