1957 Chevy Bel Air Convertible - 1/16 (Junk Car)

A littler detail from the front axle. I'm not 100% satisfied with the result, but as it is going to be a junk car is not that bad if the bolts are not perfect. I hope you all like it.

The level of detail really is unbelieveable, looks just amazing

@ endac: Thank you!

More details for you here:

Here you see the original firewall and a picture of a real firewall printed on scale.
The difference is so huge I decided to make it completely new... while doing that I actually realized that I had to make the whole engine compartment new.

So here you have pictures of the firewall. I'll post pictures of the complete engine compartment as soon as it's ready.

this is an awesome build. i like what you did with the engine. i have the 1/16 nomad that i have started, but recently took a break from. the engine detail sucks!

[ModelJunkYard]

@ Everett: All you see in white are custom made parts. The seat hinges are made with small wire pieces, very easy actually. I'm glad you like my work!
