    When I built mine, I slid all the slats into the channel on the roof, sanded them as required to make them move freely, then used masking tape to hold them all together.

    These type of weights are still used, new style chevy trucks use them on the transfer case of the non v8 models

    Picked up two of these at a show this weekend, (us release) both bodies were mint, no damage at all.

    Drop it off to me and I’ll put it in my scale coat ‘tank’

    I should probably finish this thing someday……, haha…

    Corrected again, lol, I should’ve checked my reference material instead of my memory, thank you for setting that straight.

    Thank you for that information, I didn’t know you could get a 300 deluxe in an SS configuration, was this a 69 offering only? On a side note, I think I’ve only seen two 300 deluxe cars in person, one was a 66 and the other a 71.
  14. tbill
    The SS was a ‘body style’ at least thru 1969, not an option package, as denoted by the vin sequence, SS chevelle vins started with 138, the ‘38’ denoted the body style. Just random info….
  15. tbill
    I’ve built 4 of these kits, and honestly don’t remember having any issues getting the body on. I can’t help but wonder if maybe you’ve got something installed slightly ‘off’ causing an interference?

    Give this a look, ( if the link works), I still have not finished this, but it’ll give you a rough idea of shop size and the kits I used, hope it helps.

    Thanks for the kind words every one, much appreciated.
  18. tbill
    You are correct. I must have looked at a million images online when I built mine trying to find a match, and when I did, it was a 70/71 fruehauf

    Fantastic pics, thanks for sharing those. For me , it’s amazing how some cars are just plain beautiful, and are timeless, yet some are just slightly off the mark, or seem to have fallen off the target all together, lol.

    It’s about the journey sometimes ?

    Oops

    Once winter hits, the weekends become build days. Those sessions range anywhere from 2-6 hours or more depending. Lately when I go in, it’ll be a couple hours before I call it a night.
  23. tbill
    I’ll be there as well

    Thank you everyone, appreciate the kind words. I haven’t been on much lately, but soon I hope to catch up and post on all the terrific builds here, you guys really knock these builds out of the park, looking forward to being more active around here. Thanks again everyone.
