56 Bel Air Resto Mod WIP

Been awhile since I worked on a project and wanted to do something fun. I pulled out an old model I did long ago. The paint job was still shiny, custom metallic purple but there was broken and missing parts. So figured it would be a great project to work on and show all you my progress.

I actually started a long time ago on this but didn't get much done. A little here and there when ever I would get the motivation.

Took awhile to decide what color I was going with for the body and interior. Going with the old Red/White color scheme. Granted even once I already had a seat painted I was still fusing over the body color and needed to remind myself that I already had decided on the colors.

Here's the front seat completed painted with a flat Insignia Red and flat white sprayed over with a clear semi gloss. Also added seat belts for a little touch of safety. Just need to paint the button chrome silver.

Purchased the 57 photo etch kit since I haven't been able to find a 1956 anyway and it came with pedals. This was really good since the pedals are molded into the interior bucket. I went and removed them and replaced the floor pan I removed. Here's the results:

Post more in next replay.
