OK, I'm done. Happy that I had the chance to close this post. Looking forward to posing a new one soon. Hope you all are keeping safe and healthy. Be safe, be well.

It's also got a modified 1995 Corvette interior, and 1995 Camaro wheels.

Sprayed some color on it. It is supposed to be a color-shift purple, but it's hard to see in photos.

Yeah, it was a little tight, but I figured that I could make it work.

Turns out the engine was a little big, I didn't want to cut the hood without checking clearances first, so I made a test hood out of cardstock.

I tried to salvage as many pieces from the original engine as I could, replaced the block and such from the 409 from the AMT 57 Chevy...

Anyway, the story of this build starts with an engine. Years ago I built the AMT 1964 Chevy, I loved the 409, thought it was the best engine I had ever built, and held on to it for years So, it turns out that it wasn't as good as I remembered.

So, I emailed myself all the pictures from my phone (which, surprisingly, is still going strong, other than the fact that nobody, including Verizon, supports it anymore)

Hey guys! I'm back! Long story short, my phone quit letting me upload photos to this forum. And then my computer died. My sister bought me an Amazon Kindle for Christmas, so I decided to check back in, realized I never finished this post. I decided to resurrect it. Please be aware, this build was finished, like, three years ago...

Maybe I will try to update from my computer... But my computer is older than my phone, so I wouldn't count on it.

Ok, forget it... I can't upload photos from my phone to this web site anymore... It just doesn't work with my phone. It's not the website's fault, my phone is old and a piece of garbage. So you are just going to have to see it when you see it.

So, once again, we are getting closer to the NNL East, and so it is time for me to try and get a model together before the show... Since this year's show is focused on 1959, I picked up a cheap model at the last show, hoping to finish it up before the next show... So here's what I'm starting with...

Welcome! Yes, this is a great place to hang out... A lot of great people with a lot of great suggestions, but feel free to take them or leave them, we all have to figure out what works best for us! BTW, I tried to figure out how long it will take me to build all the models in my collection, at my current rate, and I would have to live to 160... :-) Not that I won't try...

I had the same idea. I am a fan of the craft paints as well, and I have a couple of "yuk" greys I was thinking about:-) two-toning something. Maybe that 55 Chevy sitting on the shelf.

By the way, just to clarify, the toothpick was only left in to let the glue dry, it's out now
