Sam I Am

Thanks for the comments you two. Decals are next. I need to order a fine point molotow pen to touch up all the chrome, but I have eight months to get that done. ?

WOW !! Everyone is doing phenomenal work....WoW !! So, I just about have my big rig community build finished up and it's time to get the Chevelle sorted out. Hopefully I can get a little wider tire/wheel combo, you gotta hook up and handle better. That injected, twin turboed 427 is a monster. I already know that the inner fender wells are getting cut out and the fire wall is needing modified so this monster can fit. Have to get that engine nestled down as low as possible so the turbos just peek out.(hopefully the hood clears them but I'm not going to hold my breath)

Thank you for pointing that out Force, really appreciated it. Thanks for all the positive comments everyone. I know that most people get this model for the engine and wheels, but if you stripped all the chrome, took care of all the seams, did some filling here and there, it would make a great display piece. Worked on it some tonight. I have a few things to paint, wash the grill, touch up the chrome, and decals....I think that is it.

Just a couple more little things and I will call it finished.

You are just plain nuts...in a good way. ? so are those super singles out back?

Thanks for the reminder, I should be able to get them in the mail tomorrow. ?

After a very long discouraging time, I gave up on matching the paint. I bought numerous different bottles, but nothing was close enough to any of the colors, and that would look worse than nothing at all. So I am going with the suggestion of a flat black hood assembly. The sleeper doors are already off a bit in color and the one has some paint flaked off. So along with the various chips here and there, I think it will be ok for now. If I ever do find matching pain, I can always paint it then. Right now it just feels good to get another stalled project out from the cupboard of doom.

Love it !

Love how this one turned out James. ?

Love the colors, the modifications, and the super clean execution. Awesome truck!

WoW!! That is one wild looking rig. I never knew of this release. Great job Al !

Beautiful car. GM actually did a one off prototype based on the Catalina but never put it into production. It was restored and auctioned off in 2018 at a Mecum auction.

Looks better than the "laying frame" look. ?

Work of art...

That turned out great. Gives me an idea on what to do with the leftover parts I have from an old rebuilder.

His other car must be a hybrid. ?

I saw this today on the road.....somedays I just hate my job.

When I first saw it pull into the post office parking lot it was in the shade so all I saw was this chocolate brown mustang with those big black wheels...?

Ya think...?

I love first gen Mustangs, but I felt sorry for this one.

Low....ri....der Can't get it out of my head now. ?

Thanks for the comments guys. I have been super busy for awhile now but managed to find the bench for a few minutes anyway. Interior finished up and the cab mounted.

That is one wicked Camaro. I love it !!

That is perfect. Love it ! The first dirt car I built is a 40 Ford.

Very nice! I hope mine comes out this nice. I have a Fred's body and am using the AMT 37 Chevy chassis.
