Nice! That maroon looks great on anything.👍

I love these kits. They aren’t great so I don’t mind trying heavy modifications!🤪 If you go with the V12, I am for sure following!😈

Vallejo 71.317 light blue is pretty darn close to your buddys color in case you need another option.

Heres a link to a YouTube build of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiz0BJnEqDw

Nice start David. Engine looks fabulous!😎

Do you have a dremel or similar rotary tool? Files will work, but a good quality set of burrs will make short work of that flash.

Welcome to the forums Andria. You will find everyone here helpful and courteous.

You’re welcome. Apparently the box art was corrected at some point. I don’t know if it ever contained F250 parts? My kit has the proper 1/2 ton front suspension. As in coil springs instead of leafs.

Cool project!👍 Are you planning on shortening it up any?😈 Chevy did build 2 door Chevelle wagons. https://www.curbsideclassic.com/curbside-classics-american/1964-chevelle-300-2-door-station-wagon-it-should-have-been-called-nomad-why-did-they-build-these-anyway/

The kit I have has 5 lug rims and the box art shows five lugs also. Kit #1230. Edit: It also has the upper and lower trim molded in, if that is what you’re looking for. It should be relatively easy to shorten the box and frame.

I’ve wasted more masking tape and Bare Metal Foil by trying to be frugal than if I had just cut an obviously oversized piece in the first place.

Anyway you want to build your model is all right by me, but It’s not a credo that has universal consensus.

Was the front bumper done with that stuff? If so, it looks pretty good!👍

Due to my exhaustive research and diligent planning 🙄…. the 1/32 interior fits with very little modification. I had to do some grinding and I re-oriented the dash slightly. Much easier than starting from scratch.🙂
