Fairfax Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Hello, everyone. Older very simple kit. The body is a little deformed from the production. I refilled the rearview mirrors. Inside from the beer tin and side from the junkyard. The decals on the hood are from another Chevelle plastic kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russell C Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 That buff below the driver's side mirror will rust out. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Very realistic weathering on the paint finish. A 1:1 El Camino like this would have an interesting story to tell about its life on the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairfax Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thank you all guys for making nice comments. For Russell: If you mean the side rearview mirror holder and the varnish underneath, you're right, I agree, that's where it would want to make rust. Thank. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TarheelRick Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 A bit of TLC and this one may be salvageable. That is some very convincing weathering, excellent job. Those year Chevelles tended to rust quite readily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim N Posted September 27, 2019 Share Posted September 27, 2019 Having lived in Chicago at this time. I remember there being only 3 kinds of cars on the road. 1. New cars 2. Rusted cars 3. Cars with accident damage Yours is a very convincing replica of what was common for the upper Midwest at that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Kurt R. Womack. I don't even use this book yet. But in time, I'll probably have to. Meanwhile, I'm at a stage where I'm frantically building and relegating my studies to later, and I know I should be doing it the other way around. Meanwhile, I'm only taking inspiration from Internet photos. Thank you for the recommendation, I'll be interested in the book. :-) Thank you all so much for nice sentences and encouragement! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
