Awesome job !

James if you end up painting it the fathom green I recommend laying down a base coat of semi gloss black.

Thank you guys for the awesome complements and encouragement ! Next project will be to get back on the Meng Ford GT40 to finish up.

A few more pictures of the progress before the finally assembly which I did get her finished up in time to make the Modelfest show in Venture last weekend and the Chevelle placed third in the replica class which was a surprise to me. Next stop will be under glass after I get a few pictures taken outside.

Hey Jim that's my 1957 Ford Ranch Wagon which took third in the Street Machine category. It was a good time at the show and a good turn out .

From what I understand the convention center has kept rising prices on the room and i'm sure there are other costs that keep going up.

Hello All, Sad news is that it was announced at the show Sat. that the NNL West 2025 will be the last NNL West show.

Please delete this post ...... Thank You

Hello All .... I was debating on whether to add front brake rotors to this build or not since the factory car got front disc and the kit did not have that option. So my decision was to add front disc so I have started scratch building the hubs to add the front brake system. So here are a few pictures of my progress so far.

Paul ..... Awesome build ! Question ..... where did you purchase the kit from ?

Bob the battery terminals are part of the kit battery and what I did was just drill holes into the terminals then glue in the cables then I just detailed the terminals by painting them. Thank you for the encouraging comment Dennis !

Thank you David !

Thank you Roger ! and yes it does take me a bit of time to successfully finish a build.Mainly because of making mistakes and having to correct them but I do learn from the mistakes.

Another small update ...... I installed the rear tail light lenses and also detailed the chrome around the lenses by carefully adding black in the grooves around the lenses.

Thank you Greg ! Just wish I had a little more time at the bench.

Was able to get a some bench time in and as you can see I have added the decals to the drive belts, front grill , battery which I also finished detailing the front grill and battery. And also added the decals to the rear bumper but I still need to install the rear red lenses.

Kevin, MCW does have the correct GM green paint for the 69 SS which then it would have to be airbrushed.

Has anyone used Future Floor Polish over your chrome parts that come with the kit ?

Coming Soon !

Joe thank you ! and yes the carb is from Fireball.

Small mock up of the Chevelle SS which I might shoot one more coat of clear on her before final assembly.

Thank you Carl !

Finally was able to get a little bench time in on Chevelle SS this evening.I wash able to get the distributor installed , plug wires , coil , starter, and one of the vent tubes installed and I also installed the accelerator cable as well.

Thank you all for chiming in on this. The kit comes with 12 really cool solid and metallic and pearl colors so hopefully I'll get some time this weekend to shoot some of the colors on a few extra bodies that I have laying around to experiment with.

Not sure why it came with reducer since the paint is ready to shoot ...... I have airbrushed automotive paint and 2K clear and I'm planning on testing the paint this weekend if time permits.
