Thought I should add a chassis pic as well

Thought I’d posted this, but guess I didn’t, lol. Finished in fathom green with a dark green interior. Used model car garage PE set and a MAD pre wired distributor. Another well engineered kit that goes together pretty nice. Thanks for looking.

Thank you all for the very kind comments, very much appreciated. as to the wheels/hub caps, I did some online research, and it seems that style hub cap was called a deluxe wheel cover and was available from 68-74, now, weather or not the info I found is accurate, I can’t say with certainty, but, the wheels in the impala kit were close enough for me, and let’s face it, probably most of the classic Chevrolets we build end up with rally wheels, and I wanted something different this time around ( not to mention detailing rally wheels is a pain , lol) . Here is a pic I found online of the wheel cover,

Great looking C5, lot of people don’t care for the body side moldings, but I think they add that little something to accentuate to body lines. Not to hijack or go off the rails, but here is a pic of mine,

Very well done, you really captured the look of the 1:1. I really like that build, just fantastic!

Thanks guys, I mocked it up again on the bench to see how things were looking, might just get back on this soon.

Finally had some daylight time to take a few pics. Finished in Marlboro maroon and tan interior. I used the wheels from the AMT 70 impala, everything else was in the kit. Built up nice , highly recommended. It is the yenko version kit, this kit has a way more complete decal sheet than prior issues. thanks for looking.

Agreed, love the color and like the pit stripes as well. we gotta see a pic of your C5 as well ( I also own a C5)

Tim, thanks for posting those pics, I’m really looking forward to this kit.

That’s looking sharp!

That’s looking very nice! Great pics of the other builds and your 1:1.

Looking good! I did one not too long ago in sublime green.

Glad you soldiered on and finished this one, it turned out great! Love the color scheme and the wheels look great on it, well done !

I like what you’ve got going on so far, should be a cool looking ride.

Cool project, I dig it!

Just about done…..

What a gorgeous little hot rod!

What’s not to like? Fantastic looking build , well done!

Thanks, I guess a year of it hanging around is too long…., will drag it out this week and see what made me shelve it, had to be some mental block about what I wanted to do….

Holy smokes that’s cool!! Any thoughts on colors?

That’s always how it starts ,….how can I get these big arse tires on this thing…. have at it, you’ll find something that’ll work .

Thank you, every now and again I get a really good looking paint job…….

So, this is where I almost left off, it actually got two toned, I need to dig it back out and maybe finish this thing ……

Testors wet look, 3 or 4 coats, then wet sand and polish.

Thanks all, this one is almost done, waiting on new chrome pens so I can fix all the bruises on the bumpers and things.
