Stray

I'm waiting for the unveiling of the blown Hemi that you have mid-mounted in that sleeper...

I have panda paws for hands. So final assembly always sucks. My worst nightmare is always the glass though...

nice little mustang bud. Well done.

I read through this thread from start to finish while waiting to get activated. Just gotta say man this build is fantastic. Your finishes and detail are inspiring.

migft be my connection but that link wont open for me.

thanks for looking folks Well my eyesight certainly isn't what it used to be, I need a magnifyer now! The kit brake boosterwas pretty poor so a bit of a scratch was needed. Todays effort. I have ordered some styrene and teeny-tiny drill bits with the alclad order, so waiting for them to turn up. Then I can plumb this master cylinder for the brake lines as well as the reservoir retaining clips. A little bit of clean up and this should look okay on the firewall.

Oh okay. Thanks bud. I'll get this moved to the trade/swap section then. If any mods see this would you mind moving it?

No the body was far beyond repair, well I thought so at the time. I'm not looking to get another, but if someone else needs the parts I have kept them in a couple boxes. Along with two of the firebird decals and the instruction book which was all in japanese(?). I have seen later kits on ebay for 500+ dollars and their instructions were in english.

Brilliance.

That's pretty (oops, BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH is a swear word?) good man. Love the colour choice and it is a super clean build. Way to go.

Hey has anyone built this kit? My parents bought it for me back as a kid and I really didnt appreciate it fully. Basically just painter the interior and the body then glued and screwed it. The body got smashed years ago before I got serious about modelling and it sucks man. I have the rest of the kit still, all except the shell. It is one of the early Otaki runs with the alloy wheels. So I don't know if this is the right place to put this but if anyone has the body and needs parts I could be persuaded to help maybe.

Hiya Carlos. I'm in the same boat yeah, and you're correct, there is some great knowledge to be gained here!

Yeah I hear ya Mike. When I stopped modelling the closest you could get to chrome was the old Humbrol enamel! I just ordered some alclad which I have seen excellent results from. Welcome back to the builds.

Hi. I'm new too. Yeah this place has some great info and inspiration.

Thanks Trucker Thanks Slusher

Thankyou kindly Quincy

Yep, another modeller who has had a too long break from building and is now starting again. I did a search and there was a few 67 Chevelles that were built by returning builders. Anyhow, this is an AMT version, as most of the ones I fopund on here are the Revell kits. This is one I built not long before stopping almost 20 years ago, and it has been in boxes and moved house many times and has generally been knocked about. Luckily enough it is mostly complete, only missing the radiator support panel and one front spindle, as well as the left engine pipe. All of which I should be able to scratch or kit bash. What started as a standard rebuild I think is going to become a bit more detailed. After seeing the quality a lot of you folks produce it has inspired me to go a bit further. So for starters the front swaybar on this kit is utter crud and is molded into the chassis, then up the side of the frame and just stops there. So I removed that for starters and have drilled the mounts to make a new one. The steering detail on this kit is severly lacking also, so I have to search references to see what I can do about that. Anyhow, all in all this should be a nice little build to see if I still have it in me. If anyone has any input feel free, critiques or tips or straight up hatred will all be taken on board. Thanks for looking. Here is where I'm at after getting most of the bits stripped.

I'm new. Been lurking this place for a while and am now fully bonafide memberised. Which is good, for me anyhow, because I have some questions for you knowledgable folks...
