It’s time for an automobile group build. This group build will be for any automobile built from 1950 to 1959. Build a Chevrolet, Ford, Plymouth, Studebaker or even an Edsel (isn’t an Edsel technically a Ford?) or whatever. Foreign cars are ok too! So go find a kit of one of the classic 50’s cars and jump in.
Few simple guidelines,
Have Fun
Sign up and tell us what you’re going to be building.
Start date of April 16, 2007 aka Tax Day! Finish date of sometime later this year.
Any car, station wagon or truck built from 1950 thru 1959, any make, any scale.
Build it straight out of the box or full custom/hot rod/race. AM your heart out if you like.
Post often and share lots of pictures along the way.
why not i havent built a car in a long long time would be a little break from military modeling . put me down for a 1957 Chevy hard top. probably the AMT 1/25th scale . unless anyone knows where i can get a metal body model of a classic car (that isnt pre finished).
Put me Down for a 57 Chevy Bel Air. My father-in-law will be happy and the wife is going to kill me I purchased more kits today hehe. All I need to find a good kit and paints.
There still is a lot more room for people in this build. I still want someone to jump in with a Studebaker and/or a Plymouth with big fins.
I’m actually going to have a shadow build during this build. I scored a Lindberg '52 Chevy Coupe (a fastback for you younger guys) in 1/32 scale. It’s a 1979 vintage kit. Straight OOB build just fixing sink holes, seam and alike. Shouldn’t be a tough build as it only has 31 parts. Also as a warm up I’m working on an AMT Ertl '57 Chevy Hardtop. I’m building it as a hot rod. Found this kit at a thrift store for 75 cents so I thought I would experiment a little and expand my modeling skills.
ah grandpa i am the opposite of you my taxes were done and mailed in the first weekend of febuary now i have to order the kit and the pe… shhhhhh dont tell the wife lol
Model Car Garage…they have aftermarket and detailing supplies for car models. I have the PE set, some misc flocking and ingnition wire coming from them.
BTW…I just take a big evelope of papers to my CPA, just a matter of knodding my head and saying uh huh a couple time. Then she charges me a couple hundred (which you write off next year) and tell’s me how much to send to my uncle…Uncle Sam that is…[BH]
