Here’s some progress on my 1/12 scale 60’s era 57 Chevy Coupe Gasser being built from a Monogram kit. Seat is from a Corvette kit, the seat frame is scratchbuilt.

Painted the bolts semi-gloss black and dry brushed rusty red for effect.
Nuts and Bolts

Here’s an update of my 1/12 scale Monogram 57 Belair Gasser build. I’ve primed the undercarriage with red oxide Plastikote, and thin top coated with semi-gloss black paint. I then lightly rubbed edges with fine steel wool to age. Faux bolt heads and nuts are sliced styrene hex rod. When glue is cured I’ll finish sanding those and prime and paint them.
Exhausting and Tilting.

Here’s the modifications to the fenderwell headers I bought from Shapeways.com. I had to extend them to clear the frame. Also, I fabricated the framework for the tilting front clip.
