Rolling Beer Can
« on: June 08, 2017, 01:02:18 PM »
Modelers,

here is another replica build to go along with the 1st one I posted on Fred's.  Another 55 Chevy that was the stiffest competition for  the Falstaff sponsored car.  Every feature the Fairgrounds announcer would say "It's the battle of the beer cans" as they battled on the 1/4 mile track.

 Great replica!  Is that all hand-lettered supergluek5? Nice!

Bob D,

Actually everything is decals I made from photos of the actually car; however when they printed they were way to light so I painted over them the best I could.

 :)  Well, you painted over them very well.  I think this is my favorite of all your models, and I am not a drinking man.
