Monogram 55 Chevy Custom BadSeed

[BADSEED]

Here’s another one I just finished, Another one of ricks favorites we would talk about building some of the old monogram kits and build them as box stock and display them on the hobby shop original store display, well I couldn’t help but add a little more than the box offered, I added louvers to the hood and French antennas, and a rear seat cover, other than that pretty much box stock .
This is the early Monogram 1955 Chevy , when I got this kit the windshield post was broken and after trying to repair it a few times I finally just cut it and glued the windshield to the custom bubble top and re made a new windshield post allowing me to be able to chop the top, adding most of the kit supplied custom parts, shaving all the chrome and giving the car the stance I wanted, it was ready for primer and paint, candy green mixed with candy teal and sprinkle with a rainbow flake, and topped with a 2 K clear coat, all this over a silver metal flake base, pearl white and candy teal interior, I didn’t like the way you could look down though the bubble and see the stock rear seat so I made a rear cover, all in all it was a fun fast build of a vintage kit, complete build about a week, hope you enjoy.

Now that's Kool. I think the box art gods will forgive you for those minor transgressions!

(And we need to see more of that bike luking behind the backdrop.....)
