Check this out. That car's so cool he has to keep it in a cold storage warehouse.

But I can hear it crying for some clear coat. All the way out here in California.

I like the style of your builds. Every one is a statement in simplicity.
So many people miss that..
Nicely done!!

That color is great. It looks like a frosted Christmas ornament. Very cool.

Sam, that model Chevy is almost never chopped right. But you've nailed it. When you finally get it smooth enought for the gloss, it'll be one to measure the rest by. Congrats, pal.
