Wow, absolutely stunning build. Nice work.

Thought about buying the Chevelle kit. I just finished building the 65 Nova Funny Car kit. Worst kit I've ever built, very crude. I had to force myself to finish building it. The Chevelle looks pretty much the same as the Nova except it has better glass, tail lights and tires (rubber vs plastic). Think I'll pass.

I have read several post about people using micro balloons with CA, 5 min. epoxy and other mediums as fillers on their models I've searched the internet and haven't found a good source. Anyone have any sources or suggestions? Thanks.

I'll be watching your build. I just recently started building the same kit. I needed to find a kit to get me out of a building slump. It needs a lot of mold lines cleaned up. I plan on adding a little bit of extra details since the model is pretty simple. I have seen other peoples builds of this kit on this forum. Looks like it can be made to look pretty nice.

Shaun, I would give Chris another chance. He's a good guy to deal with. I have bought quite a bit of $$$ worth of models, paints and accessories from Chris. His prices and shipping are what I consider reasonable (especially free shipping for orders over $50) He's even gone out and found items I've asked for (messaged him and he replies pretty quickly) and added them to his webpage. I've always received my stuff pretty quickly (a few days). The only issue I have had was with USPS distribution center in Kentucky, my tracking # has disappeared twice at their facility. One time for 2 weeks time another for almost 5 weeks.(not Chris' fault). I will continue to buy from Chris in the future.

I would love to find one of these without having to mortgage my house or sell a kidney. lol.

Got mine today, one more issue left on my subscription. Time to renew, what's the best way?

Very nice, great color.

Thanks David. Like I just stated in the post to Mike, I'm doing a 428 for a modified and just wanted to get close.

Can anyone tell me which color Tamiya blue is close to Ford engine blue?

Amazing work, always look forward to your latest posts. I have a question, how many of those tiny parts have you lost to the "carpet monster"? Lol.

Very nice build. Great color.

Very nice build. Great custom touches.

Nice build.

Chuck, there is a safe way to use a pipe tap to decant/empty an aerosol can. I invert the can and release all the propellant until it won't spray. Then I use hose clamps to secure the tap to the can and empty through a tube into a plastic or glass jar. There is one thing you shouldn't do (ask me how I know), the expelled paint still holds propellant. So don't shake the container, it will go everywhere just like a soda can. Crack the lid on the container and let it gas off for a day or two. It's still better to stir it instead of shaking it.

Wow,stunning build. Excellent work.

Beautiful build. Where did you get the wheels and tires? What scale size are they? 18's, 20's?

Love that kit. I built mine pretty much out of box. I did use photo etch wire wheels for the front. made custom pipes from aluminum tubing and wired the engine.
