I love this car Eric, great colors. Did you chrome the rear end? It looks good.

Nice work, they look really good. It looks like some kind of woven material, amazing.

Very cool car, what size wheels are those?

Welcome Ross, you should be able to find a Chevy Sedan Delivery somewhere, ebay should have some.

Cool stuff you got There Paul, welcome to the forum, and , model car world!

Cool looking car.

Very nice.

Nice looking build Emmanuel,very interesting car.

Nice job Emmanuel, looks good.

I like it, it looks good in orange, what kind of paint did you use Paul?

Thanks Brian, so you used wine bottle top foil for the belts? Did you have to do anything to 'dull' it?

Okay Ace, this engine is from the AMT '69 Ford Galaxie kit, with the blue car on the box. It's the same engine but has a little better/different details. So, the main drain plug sat right in the middle of the cross cross member where it mounts. In the case of this specific model, I broke one side off that hole/square in the cross member (where the drain plug would fit) when I was doing initial prep six months ago., so I had to fill that in with epoxy and add a brace to one side so the front end piece would hold, (it also uses that hole/square) which made it flat on top and difficult to balance the engine, so I cut it off, no one sees that anyway. I hope that makes sense. Thanks for asking the question. Here's a couple of pics of the engine progress. The problem here is that I cut the tabs off the bottom of the ' Intake Horns ' thinking it would make it easier for mounting, yes that's right. So now, because CA melts the Alclad I've got to mix a batch of epoxy for each horn! Wear plastic gloves and all that, Yes! Oh what fun! I've got three of them on! The coil and the oil filter are from the Revell parts pack 427 FE engine.

Very nice Brian. that seat belt hardware looks real, best I've seen I think. What did you use for the belts? They look good as well. Thanks.

I love this as a custom, who would'a thunk it, so cool. Those wheels look real good on there, they fit the body style perfectly.

Nice subject, love that body style.

Very cool, I'll be watching. I watch endurance racing, and , love the sounds of them Corvettes!

Thanks Ray!

I think it's cool Tom, it's got hot rod attitude. I love the little balls in the velocity stacks, do you know if those come in the kit? I've thought about getting the current issue of this kit, I like it.

Yes, on the bumpers, I used Tamiya Silver Leaf. They were Tamiya Bare Metal, but , it looked to much like a plastic part 1:1. I painted the starter gloss black. You were right it wasn't that big a deal, just me wanting to see this thing come to form. I never really thought out this build prior to starting it, I was just trying to put down a good paint job. I end up getting the best paint job I've ever done,

LOLOLOL, I think it might be too. Now, if I can just get those braces on the body where the rear pan will mount. I had them in but wanted to tweek it more. It's difficult to get that thing lined up even with the braces. I think the problem is that piece that fits up under the truck tab that comes down. If you get that lined up then the panel doesn't fit right along the edges with the lower rear quarter panel, so , I'm just going to line up the corners/edges of the rear pan with the body, and ignore that tab, may evewn cut it off (?), we'll see. Thanks for the compliments.

Here's the valve covers and some stuff attached to the engine. The fuel filter is actually brass, my camera makes it look orange. The green stick is a thing for attaching small parts called 'Micro-Stix, not sure if I think they are worth the price, or , not, they stick too well.

Nice work Mike.
