Chevy II

Pro streeting AMT ‘60 Corvette. Plan to paint bright yellow & add supercharged SBC.

I see people are recommending to clean resin parts with Westley’s Bleach White, but the original isn’t available anymore. Has been replaced with Black Magic brand. I have read they are not the same. &nbsp What are you guys using to clean your resin parts? Has anyone tried Simple Green?

Turned the AMT 63 Nova station wagon into a 2 door sedan delivery & pro street it too.

Got mine yesterday.

Still waiting in Seattle area..

Those headers are wild. Did you use solder?

Really like those wheels & the actual car is killer.

Paul, that thing is unreal.

Here’s one that I started while waiting for paint to dry on another build. AMT 61 Falcon Ranchero, pro streeted with some help from AMT’s 66 Nova Pro Street.

Steven your builds are just so detailed and thorough out. Dang, I start out with a plan, but often it changes as the build goes on. I got a lot of ideas from Roger’s builds and he was always willing to share how he accomplished something if you asked. Really a shocker when I found out he was gone.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I was very pleased with how it turned out and excited to hear the Galaxie kits May be reissued. These are a few pictures of the interior before assembly.

Just finished this 47 Chevy coupe from Galaxie Limited. I have a 1:1 1948 Chevy coupe, so this was a must build. This kit can be made as either a 46, 47 or 48. The detail in this kit is second to none. Only issue I had was painting it with those little jars of Testors. Let it set for over a month before doing any BMF, glass or exterior pieces.

I painted my kit body 10 days ago with Testors little bottles. 50-50 mixture using lacquer thinner. Came out really nice, but I would like to polish it with some Novus #2 polish. How much longer should I wait, and how do I know when it’s ok to polish it?

I airbrushed this 4 days ago with the little Testors bottle. I plan to top coat with Testors Extreme Lacquer Wet Look Clear. Questions are: Is it ok to top coat now? Enamel should be gassed off by now. Should I wet sand before I top coat. How long after I top coat should I wait to wet sand or polish?

I tried heating up the tire with a heat gun, then pressing the tire down on the counter while I had a wooden dowel inside the tire. The tire looks flat, but the wheel opening becomes a little oval and doesn’t fit the wheel properly. Any suggestions on other methods or tell me what I may be doing wrong.
