56 Del ray

many thanks mustang started with BMF

Hmmm;

   Although you are doing a kick Butt job , gotta ask . Isn't the seat of the interior supposed to be the same as the seat-backs . I don't believe they did that pattern till the late nineties . I could be wrong though .  T.B.

Paint looks

thank you TB and mustang I got the interior color and pattern form an online 1956 chevy delray brochure .

any progress on this one?

yes haven't posted any thing with chores around the house and super bowl prep. wow what a game I was hoping for a close game ! but back to the bench need to finish up some planes too thanks for the shout mustang hope all good for you

after a short break and with the nice weather over for now back to this 56 . the drivers side is done with BMF. 

hi guys its been too long away from the bench hope all is well . Im wrapping up with the BMF on the 56 hopefully next pics wont be so long

Hi,

That looks really nice.

Pat

What kind of wash did you use on that motor.  That's sweet.  Nice build.  Love that paint color.

thank you GlennH here is some grill work 

Oh My ;

 That looks Beautimus ! Very nice work there . Question ? Did you know that the top line of this car model had chrome trim next to the window glass ? It was a very thin channel that covered the weather stripping .

    Now , not raining on your parade , This was a dealer installed option .So you could have the " Bel - Aire " look without the cost .  T.B. 

Thank you and I didn't know about the trim I tried to dupe the sadan series of the del rey

Nice work.

AH;

   But that's it . You have nailed the look perfect . T.B.

Man that color is totally wicked!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

It sure is. 6 yrs old when these came out and even though they were on the street for many years I sure can't recall that beautiful color.

thank you Joe and GlennH its purple met flake RM 15311 at hobby lobby.I thinned it quite abit more than usual and with several coats to get close to the 56 dark dusk plum color of G.M. had at that time. The nice thing about airbrushing.

I used tamiya flat black since the motor is painted with testors enamel sorry for delaying wildcatfan.

Hi;

   Just a note of caution .Don't forget to make sure the vent frame is chromed . T.B.

Thank you tank builder what I've seen is the in side frame is chromed on the sedan model

head lights tail lights and bumpers in place still more chrome to go

getting closer

Beautiful indeed!

Okay !

 Enough already ! Where's the keys ? Very , Very Nice . T.B.
