I am not a fan of that body style, but holy cow, that looks dynamite! Just a fantastic build all the way around, love the under hood detail and the trunk is a knock out as well, excellent build!

Thank you everyone , appreciate the comments.

Love the charger! Monte is pretty sweet too!

A lot of the problem is related to emissions and gadgets as I see it ( from a GM/Chevy dealer tech perspective), every time they finally got something right, it got scrapped ( yes, the venerable small block and the 3.8L v6), oil leaks finally got solved, cam issues, oil pressure issues and general drivability issues solved, rock solid dependable, welp, need more gas mileage, toss those out, let’s run crazy timing chain layouts and displacement on demand with variable cam timing, direct injection, secondary air injection, let’s run electrically controlled thermostats, throw a turbo on everything, toss in a transmission with 6/8/9/10 speeds, make the valve body virtually unserviceable, make the interior more entertaining than your living room, make your phone hook to it so you can be distracted, and when it doesn’t work, let’s rewrite all the software, well, while we are at it, let’s throw in some radar that’s wired so if the LAN circuit goes down, it makes the car not start, oh and for good measure, let’s make everything run on a different module…… good times, haha….

The problem with the excessive brands in the GM family was that over the years they all became the same, just different badges, Cadillac cimmaron comes to mind as an earlier one, and it just progressed from there.i could go on and on about GM, been with them for almost 40 years…..

Good news is the LS engines still eat cams and lifters , just like the old days, but now it takes 15 hours to fix it, and a lot more parts….

That’s a great looking build, engine and engine bay looks fantastic!

WOW is about all I can muster for words at the moment …. fantastic!

That is slick! Well done !

Thanks for the kind words. Haven’t built much lately, so it feels good to get something decent off the bench😁

Great looking olds!

Revelogram kit, painted it a year ago, decided it was time to actually build it, haha. Color is dodge light bronze metallic from scale finishes, distributor is from MAD, AMT parts pack red line tires and wheels are from Mean Machine Models. Came out ok for a fairly low detail kit, hope you like it.

Remember how easy it used to be to replace a thermostat? Not anymore….

Blast from the past, lol. Thanks all, it’s still one of my favorite builds.

Been acquiring 1/8 kits this year, finally snagged one of these for a price I could live with
