    Beautifully done, absolutely gorgeous build.

    Wow, great build! As a former 1:1 66 chevelle owner myself I’ve got plans to build a replica of mine, ironically, I’ve built 4 of these so far but none were ‘my’ car, haha. love everything about your build, fantastic job!

    Here are a few different looks to consider, maybe one of them will appeal to you. Wheel/tire choice makes such a huge impact on the overall build. Hope this helps some.

    I have laminate flooring in my room, can usually hear the offending part bounce off of it so I can have a rough idea of direction of travel, haha. I have kits stacked under my build table, and sometimes the parts find their way into that abyss, I’ve been known to find awol parts a year or so later in there….

    Paint and carpet order came in….

    I’ve been using canopy glue for those particular type items for awhile now ( cab lights/mirrors/air horns/grab handles) it dries clear and if any extra happens to squeeze out from under the part, it cleans off easily with a damp swab.

    These are from the 71 442 US release

    Even if the tape degrades over time, you could pull the slats out again and re tape them.

    Great video Joe, thanks for putting that together and sharing it with us.

    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’
  20. tbill
    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.
  22. tbill
    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.
  23. 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….
  24. 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?
  25. tbill
    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.
