Ok I'm in need of advice on how to do detail this. Looking at various '55 Chevy Bel Air photos, I find the kit body is missing one important piece of chrome. It's not even molded on the body at all. No chrome piece in the sprue tree, nothing. Look at the red circles....

That looks like a PE foot /accelerator pedal with the same pattern would fit perfectly right there and might just be the ticket. I’ll be back with more on that with pics after I get to work in about a half hour Tom.

At work and can't copy the image over but here's the link. You'll be able to pick out the pedal I'm talking about. Looks almost exactly the same.
