James2 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 This is one of those 40% off H.L. purchases which I am happy about the price any way. My kit had some issues with twisted parts and excessive flash. There were also fit issues with the exhaust and interior tub. Not to mention the firewall location. I did adjust the ride height to except the 17" Torq Thrust D wheels from Jays resin wheels on Ebay. I used Tamiya white with Minwax urethane clear and basic hardware semi black for the carriage. The hood decals were a nightmare and ended up tearing before the Micro set did its job (Operator error). The engine is box stock and brush painted acrylic, nothing to see there. All in all, not a bad shelf model and I finished it on New Year's Day, a nice way to start 2023. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang1989 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Very cleanly built car and those wheels and tires as well as the stance really set it all off. I hear you on twisted parts and flash. I just built a 1970 Camaro not too long ago that if I hadn't caught the slight twist in the body would have given me some fits after the paint work during final assembly. Well done.

slusher Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Very sharp Chevelle buddy, I like the black wheels 🛞! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT68 Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Impressive looking build and the custom wheels and lowered stance work very well. Minwax urethane clear is one I haven't heard of before on a scale model and it worked beautifully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doorsovdoon Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Very nice looking Chevelle. The white laid down very nicely. I always have difficulty laying down white paint as it's so thin. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonhawk1066 Posted January 3, 2023 Share Posted January 3, 2023 That's a nice looking Chevelle! Unfortunately that AMT kit has it's issues, but like you've shown, a little patience and ingenuity can get a very nice result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
