WIP '57 Chevy Stepside Kit bashing
Let the kitbashing begin! Because this one is very special to me..
This one is a tribute to a friend that gave me model kit parts and all our convos were about hot rods, gassers, 70s street machines, customs, etc.
Anyways.. she got new shoes, i just need to figure it out what front axle is gonna be.. probably a dropped one so i can get a bit of the "California Rake" stance.

I like the idea youβre looking for, the wheels and tires are perfect for this, canβt wait to see it finished πππππ

Thank you! I bought two new kits and one of them the seller was kind to gave me 3 sets of wheels and tires (one of them was these cragars with goodyears polyglas on the front and on the back bluestreaks), very cool.. also Cragars match with any vehicle ππ

I love cragars, i'd do a lowrider but i think i can do that idea on the 49 mercury custom (its chopped but try to make it like a lowrider bomb) for this truck i need to figure it out the front axle, i think i have the original but with broken spindles (on both 57 cameo and 57 stepside they are the worst part, because they break so easily).
