Dirt Late Model - Photo Added- Page 2
« on: December 31, 2019, 08:05:57 PM »
Happy New Year.

This my '57 Chevy DLM.  It's a curbside, lowered, and brush painted.  The numbers are decals but I hand painted over the red outline.  The other lettering is decals.  My buddy Hondo is the wheelman.

It was meant to be Little Bud Moore's Piggy Park Drive In # 9.  But things don't always work out, and I had to go to Plan B.  I like it just fine.

Now I need to scratch out a 2 wheel trailer to haul it behind my Suburban.  Hope you like it.  Seems I forgot to paint inside the headlights.

Pretty nice looking stocker! I would not have guessed it was brush painted.

Looks really good, just like what used to terrorize Hickory Speedway back in the mid to late 60's.  Excellent build and nice paint work.

Man, that ol' Chebby looks awesome, John. Looks like it would smoke 'em at Hattiesburg or Byram.
Gotta be a front running car with that driver.......  ;D

Always amazed at your hand painting skills. Really like the overall look of this car and how it is lowered just the right amount to look fast while sitting still.
