| | | Hi @ll, I build a '57 Chevrolet Bel Air as my entry for the 1st International System Creativity Contest at 1000steine.de (URL) since I was a child I wanted to build a cool shark fin car from the fifties. Now I've finally done it. A lot of red bricks (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.contests) !!

| | | | | (...) Wow! I think my favorite shot is the bondo'ed hood with the power sander resting on it. I do not think I've EVER seen the same model in "before and after" state before. THAT was creative. Also, this model is significantly different than the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.modelteam)

| | | | | | Hi (...) Huh? The models on the reference pictures I downloaded from the internet (approx. 40) and the 2 Chevys I saw for real didn't have a yellow/gold grille. But I might consider doing it in "chrome" if anyone gives me 48 of the 1x2 chrome grille (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.modelteam)

| | | | | | | Oops! Hey, you were right. As I was searching for some picture of the Corvette Dennis is planning to build I found a picture of a Chevy with a gold grille. But the only gold pieces I have are some trumpets and a pile of pirate coins ... :-( And I (...) (22 years ago, 8-Jan-02, to lugnet.modelteam)

One of my favorates is a '65 Corvette Stingray. I think black would (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.modelteam)

Then again, how about a '58 or '62 classic 'vette. Oops, sorry. If you can't tell I'm a HUGE Corvette fan. (...) (23 years ago, 7-Jan-02, to lugnet.modelteam)
