Yes but at the same time soon I have to start worrying about chrome and I know chrome is very expensive ! But yeah its looking like a car again.
You should round up another of those simulated exhaust ports for each fender. From what I've read, the only 57 Buicks to have 3 port fenders were the Specials and that was because they came with the 2 barrel low performance engine. The rest of the 57 Buick lineup had the 4 barrel 364 engines and had 4 ports per side. With that hot rod engine you're using, you deserve a 4th port. Your paint looks a bit more blue than the show car, I like it.
Made a little more process. Stuffs slowed down a bit. Pregnant wife , family car died all that stuff to deal with. Got all the major painting done and the doors hung on. They aren't lined up or anything yet. Probably not going to get too much more done until after Christmas .
That looks very close to Belmont Green, which I believe is an actual a 57 Buick color, although what you have may be a shade or two darker. I just happen to know that because Belmont Green is one of my favorite colors [emoji16]. I used it on my 58 Chevy truck project along with GM linen white. Whatever color you’re using, it looks great!

Yes Belmont green is a factory color for 57. This is a little more turquoise and very bright. In the sun it really pops out at you.
