Thanks. That’s one of the coolest things about our hobby - the artistry. When I first completed this kit, it had no decals and was riding stock height with the kit provided keystone wheels, and kit provided whitewalls. As I looked at it - something was missing. I then applied the decals and it brought it to life a bit. It sat on my shelf for another 3 or 4 months. I even posted it on here in its previous form. The response was the same as mine - flat. Something was missing. I picked up the AMT 55 Nomad 3n1 kit and used the racing parts, raised it up with the front and rear suspension, ladder bars, slicks and new wheels - voila, I was excited even before the glue dried - I knew it was complete 👍👍👍
@@ClassicChrome86 thanks, a lot of that credit belongs to Round 2 though. I’ve had past reissues of this kit in different iterations when I was a kid. The engraving left a lot to be desired in the old reissues I’ve had - this newer reissue sold as the “Pepper Shaker”, has amazingly crisp engraving. I only had to do a bit of scribing along the door and trunk lines.
That's still one of my favorite builds of yours, gorgeous '57!! ✌️😁
