1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Hardtop Custom
Build Date: 2002

This is an original issue AMT '57 Chevy from the early 60s. I call it the "Salvage Special".

My goal was to do a custom along the lines of some popular styles from the early 60s.

I thought it would be fun to take a really far gone model and see if I could bring it back to life.

Custom parts came from AMT's reissue of the kit. It has rolled pans front and rear.

Paint is a custom mix. I created the decals on my computer.

I did a lot of work on the interior using materials from the WalMart Crafts section.
