The next on the bench is a 57 belair from revell , has two options, standard form or tuned. I'm going for the later. I'll be trying out some color change paint from sms.

Love that color. This is my all time favorite car. The first model I ever built at 8 yrs old was a '57 Belair. That was in '71

Never seen one in real life here in the uk but it become one my all time favourites since first seeing them in street machine and custom car magazines when I was about 12.

You did, the color was spectraflame rootbeer. Most of the first two years of hotwheels got spectraflame paint jobs. That was part of the appeal of the early cars along with the great designs.
