Very nicely done.

Pretty good. You did what we call around here Snake-Fu.

I like the "dirt" yards the best. More realistic.

I love this era Riv's. My Dad had one for a little while in the early 70's.

2024 Cannonball Run Restomods Build Thread
Bills72sj replied to White Rabbit's topic in Community Builds
Thanks for sharing. Now I know how to route the serpentine belt. (Once I make one) -
I am just now starting 3 C3 builds. (69, 70 and 75) I have 2 of my colors chosen. I have been going round and round on the 3rd. After seeing yours, I am liking the blue. Thanks for sharing.

Following. I built one not to long ago. I too used the AMT 67 GT engine bay in my 68. The kit one was just too lame. I modified some Shelby wheels to suit my needs. I failed at the body colored grille surround, however. Maybe next time.

Good luck with that kit roof. Following.

Hit and Miss With Chrome Plating
Bills72sj replied to dusty_shelf's topic in Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials
I have never used oven cleaner. I use Westley's Bleach White for chrome. (I have a car with Raised White Letters) Super Clean lasts for years and will do MULTIPLE bodies. I actually left one body in for 5 months with NO harm. I also use brake fluid when Super Clean is having a struggle. Sometimes back and forth between the two. -
How do you hold your engine for wiring?
Bills72sj replied to Lunajammer's topic in Model Building Questions and Answers
I was given a Panavise without the base. I was later given a solid disc of solid stainless steel. I TIG welded a stainless hex bolt to the center. I married the two freebies. I now have a 6-1/2 pound vise that actually HOLDS STILL when working on something. Its portability lets me position it on the bench wherever I need it to be. AND... the kitty cannot run off with whatever is clamped in it. π -

You have to build with one hand tied behind your back. -
Very tasty build!
