"the mad modeler"

my first Pro Sporstman build

Fred Flintstone and I started this build back in the prehistoric era but believe it or not, it's finally done! A '57 or a '55?....hummmm~ Took a while to decide but went with the '57 body for one simple reason... it just looks lean, mean and and good 'ol bad to the bone! So yes, the rumors are true. "Earl" and the gang got busy in the garage once again, but this time they were brainstorming on a pretty damm mean '57 Pro Sportsman. They didn't have much money to through around (as usual) and certainly no Corporate sponsors or any help of that sort so we just hoped they could pull this one off with the bucks (and change) they had in thier pockets. Quite a few mods, additions and real attention to detail ideas were in the works for this one from day one and had a lotta parts boxes and various pieces out! This build was started, torn down and re-started numerous times to get this finished car that I hoped for....which was a piece I'd have NO fear laying down on any show table around.Did I achieve that? You gotta be the judge of that one! And if your opinion I failed, it sure wasn't from a lack of trying!! Thanks for peeking and as always- would love to hear your input or comments!
Thanks again,
Kevin C.

These car builds are where this whole project idea started from. Couldn't decide between the 55 or 57 but the 55 has a mean "style" I like. Yep..."Earl" and the gang are getting back to work in the garage again- this time on a radical Chevy!

finally- a little progress on the chassis! Earl and the gang been real busy in the garage. Was trying for some nice polishes finished here....mostly aluminum plate buffing metalizers then dremel polished. Didn't turn out all that bad.
