Got the Chassis and internal "sheet metal" in Primer. Will mix a color up tonight and spray tomorrow.

Wow!!. Those seats look like real freakin leather

Excuse the poor photography but photos as promised

Got the body polished and decalled. Will post photos tonight. Man am I out of practice when it comes to polishing and finishing car bodies.

Nope its the body that came with the kit. I just cut out some mustang-ish tail light holes in the rear.

HELL NO!!!! If you can Gitter Done, go fer it And that is a really nice colour too.

In the round before last I got as far as painting the body shell before having to pack up to renovate a bedroom over summer. I didn't get to post the body at that time so here is where I will jumping back in from. Body needs polishing, fire wall painting and decalling. Inside will be brush painted matt black.

Cheers Tim. My next Chevelle is a project and a half. Will probably run over 2 rounds so will need to get Mustang done first

WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!!

@Snake45Can I resume my build now??????? And hope we git enough entries this round.

Love me an Orange Chevelle. Wish could afford the real deal also😭

Good to go Boss. I needs to Gitter Done

Nice. That looks like quite the undertaking.

My Understanding is that the kit has to have been started but not finished and been collecting the proverbial dust for over a year without having been worked on ( Rebuilds/restorations/rescues/reconstructions of old built models don't count, UNLESS the re-work started over a year ago and was abandoned, same as any other project) . We have a 2 month period to Gitter Done, new Period starts tomorrow. A further 2 month period extension maybe granted if you are not able to complete the build in time but NO MORE than 1 Extension is allowed I think thats all. @Snake45 Can correct me if Im wrong. Look forward to see what you have in mind.

I wont take this any further off topic than it already is but when they its a small world. this time they weren't kidding. As an owner of a 64 Anglia i love these cars and was looking at perhaps building a hillclimb car but then I saw this image and that was decision made. Next step to find a cheep Rouch IMSA Mustang kit for the suspension,wheels and chassis/rollcage to base it on. Going to be a curb side due to resin limitations. Anyway back on topic. Beautiful Chevelle TimJ

Do you ever get a really cool idea, then the rug is pulled out from under you when you realize you cant get the kits or if you can they are priced too high or Postage is extortionate? I envy you guys in the states that seem to be able to get gluebombs and rebuilds and carboot / yard sales or swapmeets every other week ( or so it seems from the outside looking in ). I was planning on taking a spare body casting of pic1. Blend with either Pic 2 and or 3. ( way too exspenive and a total waste of a new kit just for parts at that price ) And finish with something like Pic 4 But Ill keep this project in mind.

Have you posted the trailer build on here anywhere? It something I seriously need to look at building myself.

How many hours until the next round begins???🤨

Agreed. That Orange is Stunning!!!

Man that rusted body shell looks sweet!!!! what kit is that trailer from BTW???

Wish I had the option to pick up cheap kits to try half this stuff. But international postage is an absolute killer from US to New Zealand. 2 days??? and counting before the next round starts and I can continue my build.

Sneak peak

This one is almost back on the bench. I had to take a 4 month modelling Hiatus while taking my sons bedroom back to bare framing to fix some issues and put in new windows in. Then the renovations that come with all that. During that time my son was living in my hobby space. Im all set up again, just waiting for the start of the next BOYD round and im into it. I have done a little more on the body since the last photo but will save updates until its officially restarted

@Snake45The wait to get cracking on this again is intolerable . Recap time in the interum.

Wow!! That build is soooo cooool. My sanity is so very happy I cant afford to buy a MFH kit. Though I do have a Gunze Sangyo 1/24 jaguar XK-E Hi-Tech kit I got many moons ago but am apprehensive to start.
