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

Hi;

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

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

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.

thanks guys test fit the chassis 

AH;

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

Nice work.

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

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 GlennH here is some grill work 

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