Here is the chevy I built for the 100th anniversery build on plastic addicts.
1951 Chevy Fleetline.
Top was chopped , Molding removed , hood pancaked , piker skirts , quad headlights from 52 Ford truck custom parts , kit custom grille added, Color is Duplicolor Green Metal Flake with Duplicolor crystal clear. Color sanded and buffed..
Engine is stock 6 cyl with 2 strombergs , injector scoop, fuel lines, throttle linkage , spark plug wires, . ect.. Hand made exhaust for split manifolds to side pipes.
Frame is a combination of 2 chevies.
Main is the 51 floorpan and outside frame rails..
Front suspension , center section of frame, rearend , is 1960 Impala..
Brake lines metal and rubber added. Tires and wheels from 60 Impala also..
Fun build to do. The top was the hardest because these are a dandy to chop right.. I actually changed the hood style 3 times to match the top..lol
Enjoy the pics.....

;D

Trouble...
No trouble.. ;D ;D ;D
Except for cutting. Has to be a super straight cut..
Or you can get into alot of flat sanding like I did..

Easier to glue it on first. Then cut with a flat saw.
The first one I cut with a rotary saw and destroyed the hood..
