the $100 question

Very nice job on this replica! Well done!!

Nice looking progress!!

I built a '67 GTO many moons ago, and put the red fenders front and back. Your questioned jogged my memory, and I asked my friend GOOGLE for an assist on the info! LOL

If yer wallet is as empty as mine.......no problem!!! LOL

Here's one article on those red fender liners: https://www.hemmings.com/blog/article/too-nice-for-tar/ Now, you can mask off those rear fenders!! LOL

Using a shim is a good idea.

That is one sharp Chevy! Well done! The decals look great! I have several of those Chevy kits and a few sets of Chimneyville decals. Looking at this build just might get me to build a few!

Working at a desk or bench, especially on detail stuff, such as computer research or tiny 1/25 scale (or smaller) model parts, one might have a tendency to stay in a set position longer than realized. I worked at a computer desk at a local nuclear plant between 8 and 14 hours a day for several years researching work orders. My "exercise" during the work day was delivering finished work orders across the complex about three times a day. If I didn't do that, I would fall asleep at my desk. (Wonder why I made that statement?) Nowadays, at the hobby desk, I put different parts of my projects in different areas so I will be compelled to get up from the comfy leather office chair I got at Goodwill! No naps, and no back pain, doing it that way!! LoL

How long did you leave the parts clamped? That might make a difference. I tend to leave parts clamped for longer than might be necessary, just in case.

I like these kinda projects! I'm in. Carry on!!

You scared me!! I had to run to the Hobby Room to see if you got mine!! Hahaha I found it on eBay several years ago, it's a nice one. Looking forward to building it....one of these days!

Lots of great stuff in that bunch!

Very well done! I gotta get some of that paint!

Ahhhhh....this takes me back! My dad had a red and white 57 4dr sedan. Well done, sir!

It's amazing that over 3 million were produced over ten years, yet it made the "worst" list. LoL

past number seven

A beautiful build! Great color! Out of all the fantastic aspects of this build, what caught my eye first was those headers!!

Did somebody say, "Pinto"?

Could it be inventory that was slated for A.C. Moore?

Top Shelf build! Well executed. Great color. The wheels look just right on this one!

Here's the blade I have in mine: I tried a regular #11 blade, but this one allows me to maneuver around curves better. I sometimes use it to trim BMF.

won't hold up

I never knew about the red fender wells until you started this build. Very sharp!

I gotta get practiced up on my airbrushes, so I can start using these fantastic colors!
