tbill Posted November 1, 2014 Share Posted November 1, 2014 (edited) started a 66 chevelle today, I used to own one, was an SS clone, I shoulda never sold it........ anyway, I saw a new spark or sonic at work in a pale yellow, it was called 'lemonade' on the window sticker, and the color just screamed to me to do a 66 in it, so to the parts counter I went with paint code in hand and ordered a spray can of the color. today I did some body work, and then layed on some 'lemonade', needs a wet sand, then some clear coats, but I like the way it looks so far, will have a black interior, but still unsure of wheel choice, maybe poverty caps, or the incorrect rally wheels. I also may use some PE bits on it. stay tuned.... Edited November 8, 2014 by tbill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slusher Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Tom, if you have the weather you cant go wrong with having some bodies painted up. Love the Chevelle color choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 Carl, thanks. I saw the color on a new sonic at work, and knew I had to use it on this. as luck would have it, I have an artograph 'booth', so I can paint all year 'round inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbill Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 I am thinking this needs to come off the shelf, I look at it every time I walk into the model room, it needs to get some work done to it. with luck, I may have some updates by the end of the weekend.

slusher Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 Forgot all about this cool build Tom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted April 22, 2015 Author Share Posted April 22, 2015 lol, I did too for awhile, the whole Camaro thing had me absorbed, but I keep looking at this when I walk into the room....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotorbolt73 Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 looks nice..I wonder how close this color is to the Lemonwood yellow the 66 Chevelles were originally available in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbill Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 Well, the body is out of the pond...... I was all set to BMF it, but noticed a small dark orange/red spot in the middle of the roof......tried to wet sand it out, but no dice, I then tried to repaint just the roof, epic fail, so in the pond it went. I picked up a pack of the amt redline tires, and robbed the wheels and caps out of my ZL-1 camaro kit, so that's the wheels and tires sorted out. I got the other door panel bmf'd, dash decals on and floor flocked. Front suspension is on as is the firewall. I also alclad'd the exhaust and then cleared it. Hope to have some fresh pics of progress in the next few days. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
