dino246gt Posted June 14, 2022 Author Share Posted June 14, 2022 Made up a rear crossmember to glue the upper control arms to, although it's mostly hidden now, it was fun to do. Cheers! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's okay, it's not meant to be factory correct by any means, slightly hot rodded. You can post your criticism OR just message me, but I appreciate constructive criticism, that's how I learn!

Here goes: On most oil filters, the threaded side is "down", which would make your oil filter decal upside-down. I told you it was trivial. I still say nice model, though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dino246gt Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 What do you fine people think of door handles for this one? Should I or not?? Ciao 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ciao Ha, I did notice no door handles but figured you wanted the "shaved" look. It's certainly a matter of preference and me, I'd do the handles. Either way, it still looks good. Just my opinion.

Tcoat Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 5 hours ago, dino246gt said: What do you fine people think of door handles for this one? Should I or not?? Ciao Door handles and a mirror. Oh and an air filter before you ruin that beautiful engine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72 Posted January 28, 2023 Share Posted January 28, 2023 Beautiful, very detailed build! Another one I picked up a bunch of tips and tricks on. My two cents on the door handles, I would put them on. Fireball Modelworks makes some very nice sets. I used them on my 66 Malibu 4D.

dino246gt Posted January 28, 2023 Author Share Posted January 28, 2023 (edited) Thank you all! I DO have the triangle air cleaner from the Corvette kit but leave it off for display! Here it is on. Didn't add decals because it's sort of a custom, not factory stock for sure! I WILL add door handles.
