Rescuing an old Road Champs 57 Chevy

Found this at my parents house today, one of my childhood playthings. Decided to give it new life. And I figured while I was at it, I might as well document it. So here goes:

Road Champs 57 Chevy. Not sure of the year, but its pretty cool. Here's a few pics before I started the process:





Then drill out the rivets and disassemble. Also discovered at this point that the doors opened.



Picked up some stripper today at KMart, and tossed the body in. The other body in the bucket is a GTO I'm workin on.



And here is how she lies as of right now. Just finished scraping the remaining paint spots out with an Xacto and a toothpick. Tommorrow, my mission is to find a suitable set of wheels, and start the paint process.
