Can't go wrong with a '57 Chevy. Also got my weekend cruiser up and running. Nine long years since I tooled around in her.

[@olezippi]

I hear ya man. That would be the Bluesmobile?

[@TI4438]

@@olezippi yes indeed. Really missed driving her.

[@ronstewart9792]

Man the Torch red should be awesome on that Zippi. Cool update, Ron

[@olezippi]

Thank's Ron. I hoping it turns out ok.

[@theintake8961]

57' Chevy, can't wait! Torch Red is the color of my 1:1 02' Corvette. That's going to be beautiful! Now I know where to get the paint I need for my replica. 😉😎👍

[@olezippi]

Thank's man. Yeah, that Torch Red should look pretty good.

[@ramblers69]

Engine looks awesome Bob, I spray Splash at 18 when the trigger is pulled, light coats, 😎🇺🇸

[@olezippi]

Thanks Tom. I'll give that a try during my spoon test.

[@modelcars2978]

[@olezippi]

Thanks man.

[@mason4427]

Ruby looks shiny what’s the cleaner stuff you use on ruby like what’s the good stuff you recommend

[@olezippi]

I use all Meguiar's products Mason. Liquid wax and their Detailer.

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Awesome truck 😎👍

[@olezippi]

Thanks 👍

[@olezippi]

Thanks 👍

[@carouselofcrazychrisb]

Damn cool engine!!! Can't wait!!

[@olezippi]

Thanks Brotha.

[@JustBelowAverageModelCars]

Engine is a beauty, that red is gonna look good, looking forward to your completion!

[@olezippi]

Thanks man. I have high hopes for this paint.

[@dvdw_graphics_crafts]

Looking forward to the finished product! BTW that red Ford pickup on black rims looks pretty neat ; )

[@olezippi]

Thank's man. That's the Edelbrock Equipprd steel truck from HL.

[@ToddHLHG]

The engine looks awesome buddy....can't wait for the next update.

[@olezippi]

Thanks Buddy. Looks like your having fun out there on the dunes.

[@michaelhobbyshop]

Looking good so far

[@olezippi]

Thanks Michael.

[@LeftCoastModelCarBuilds]

Looking forward to seeing this come thru!! I'd probably shoot a small piece of plastic with the base then test the clear just to be safe

[@olezippi]

Thanks man. Yup, going to do some spoon test.

[@kenmorris2858]

57 Bel Air is gonna be a great project. You are correct those kit wheels look out of place on a Tri 5 Chevy. Those wheels look like they are from a C4 Corvette. Best wishes from Nova Scotia....

[@olezippi]

Thank's man. Yeah, those wheels & tires just don't seem to fit this build.

[@cardzscaledreams3917]

Great looking engine. I've heard this is a great kit....good luck with the paint.

[@olezippi]

Thanks man. It is a pretty nice kit. Just got the Splash Paint on this morning.

[@cardzscaledreams3917]

@@olezippi right on ✌️

[@hortonshotrodshop2003]

Will be watching nice looking engine. Can't go wrong with a red 57

[@olezippi]

Thanks Phil. Yes Sir, the red should fit the ticket.

[@goforitpainting]

Really cool. I look forward to the sequel.

[@olezippi]

Much obliged Daniel. I'm testing new paint today for this build.

[@1968fordman]

That's gonna be a beautiful 57, Zippi!

[@olezippi]

I'm hoping so Will. Thanks for dropping in.

[@brianlewis6926]

That kit should come with spark plug wires and some bare metal foil, but it's probably little on the side

[@olezippi]

I believe it did Brian. Thank's for watching.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

That's the idea behind my Chevelle wagon. No one expects to have their doors blown off by a wagon. No hole in the hood, but I did find a cowl induction 66 Chevelle hood. Should be cool!

[@olezippi]

Thanks for coming by. I hear ya JD. Nice little sleeper.

[@ruanecrummett9261]

Sweet lookn build love the color

[@olezippi]

Thanks Ruane. I'm hoping it turns out like the bottle.

[@alancyr3100]

Thats gonna be a cool build! Thanks for sharing.

[@olezippi]

You bet Alan. Thank's for swinging by to watch.

[@rayrussell6258]

You might even need some gold-toned foil for a few places.

[@olezippi]

Thank's man. Yup, I need to see if I can track some down.

[@marsgarage8217]

That engine is looking sweet.

[@olezippi]

Thanks Mars.

[@SmallADVentures1973]

Thats gonna look sharp, brother ✌️😁

[@olezippi]

I hope so man. Thank's for coming by.

[@smithgroove945]

Yep, that primer is really good.

[@olezippi]

It works for me so, if it ain't broke don't fix it.

[@halfass.model.garage]

it's going to look slick can't wait to see the finally on this I love tri 5's

[@olezippi]

Much obliged Buddy.

[@linkpoison5511]
