Finally finished something. Not bad for being away for 6yrs, but still some mistakes that bug me. The BMF I used was at least 12yrs old, maybe older ! And I couldn't get a strip longer than 2" without it breaking, so I had a lot of patch work. (new BMF on the way) With glaucoma in my left eye, my depth perception sucks ! So little things like glass installation / foil cutting, etc ... that need to be exact on the first try, got all boogered up. i just need to lower my standards, and try to have fun !

Once I get the "new" BMF, I'll get the hood / trunk emblems and door handles.

Duster,
You got good reviews on this one, have you finished your Dodge 330 yet? (Sorry I haven't seen).. BUT this Chevy turned out GREAT, so I would venture a guess to say the 330 is gonna turn out just as good! (I'm gonna go lookin to see if you have finished it and I just haven't seen it since my last posting in that thread!

I have to say this is a different color for a '57 Chevy, but it looks GREAT and has that "flashy"-ness to it from that very paint, NICE choice!

Looks Great.. Love that Color .. It looks Awesome on the 57. Nice Job on the Engine as well.The BMF looks pretty good to me. I seam to have trouble with that stuff...
The Orange with Black and Silver ( or Gray - Hard to tell form these pics )interior goes together very well..

Well Done.... two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon two-thumbs-up-smiley-emoticon
