    I little more progress. Started detailing the interior and worked on the radiator assembly.

    Love that movie! I'll be watching your build.

    I agree. I once owned a 67 corvair and the front end on this reminded me of it. Except that mine was a beater. Love that color.

    Thanks for the kind words guys. Funny how the paint went on the roof fairly smooth, but over the front fender wells, it has the orange peel effect. Hopefully, a bit of polishing after clear coat will improve it.

    Got some paint time in on the interior pieces and top half of the two tone body. I'm really liking the colors.

    I decided my hiatus from this project should end. After some wet sanding, swearing and more wet sanding, I have repainted the upper black metallic. Going to let it dry and then repaint the green lower half.

    So, with the rear suspension done, the chassis is complete, aside from wheels, which I intend to use the modern custom wheels and low profile tires that came with the kit.
  8. Mike F.
    Nicely done. Looks good. Once wheels are in place, nobody sees them, unless looking. But still......

    Looking good! Can you provide a close-up pic of the assembled front suspension? Would like to see how your front springs look. Thanks, Mike

    Dang! I just realized I forgot to trim the flashing from those exhaust pipes, duh. Eyes aren't what they used to be. Looks like crapola. Guess I'll have to do insitu.

    Thanks Mike!
  12. Mike F.
    Good tip, I'll have to try that next time.

    I always disliked how these springs look, so I sawed between the spring wires then painted flat black, followed by steel on the spring edges. the drivetrain is now installed.
  14. Mike F.
    Thanks!

    A little more progress. Did some chassis work, front suspension and steering. Mounted the engine and custom exhaust. Heater hoses and positive cables. On to the drivetrain ?
  16. Mike F.
    Very nice job. I love the used car look. Earl Sheib would be proud.
  17. Mike F.
    Nice! Much better without the skirts. I love that front grill and bumper. Also, year of my birth, so kinda partial ?
  18. Mike F.
    The wheels came in the kit.
  19. Mike F.
    Agree wholeheartedly with above post. Nice job so far. Maybe try that green over yellow on a spoon?
  20. Mike F.
    Nice! Should keep you busy for a while.
  21. Mike F.
    Very nice and very clean. Not to step on your thread, but I built a 1959 about 10 years ago. Brush painted and not as nice as yours, but fun to build.
  22. Mike F.
    Looking good so far. How about white, or teal, for the fin?
  23. Mike F.
    Great job on that there Chevy! Engine detail and interior are superb.
  24. Mike F.
    Sounds cool, I will be following. What year is the car?
  25. Mike F.
    Thanks for the tip John(?), I found some Tamia colors close to what I envisioned, so, will stick with them fo now. Next project I'll check out the website. I think you will enjoy working with this kit. Nice details and parts seem to line up well, so far.
