I like that Chevelle. Beautiful work on it. I have to ask, what kit is that C-cab? I have the body only that I got in a junkyard buy and don't know what kit it came from. Any photos of the boxart? Later-

Michael- That is looking good although I think it would have looked better in Metallic Purple. Either way it looks killer. You do need a white top and some skinny white walls. Later-

Wow! I like that ad. How can I save that to a bookmark? I can't seem to copy it. Can you PM that to me when You get a chance? Later-

Here is tonight's progress of finally getting around to painting the stripes. Tomorrow I will do some small touch-ups on the paint and finish scratch building and painting the visors. I may finish the engine work too. Thanks for looking and comments/ criticisms welcomed. Later-

I got the idea a while ago to build a model of a drawing that Jairus did of a 70 1/2 Camaro convertible. I was really jazzed about the project when I saw the photo and like all of my builds it has sort of drug out. I had the interior and chassis done quite a while ago. These few photos were taken about the middle of last year. Tonight's work in the next post. Later-

Jairus- Here is a few shots of the 70 1/2 Camaro Convertible that you drew up a while ago. I just pulled the masking off from painting the stripes. It isn't exactly like the drawing but it was your idea that gave me the inspiration. Hopefully I'll have it finished soon. I want to enter it in a local contest April 17th. I hope you like it. Next is to paint and install the visors and final assembly and polish. Later-

Nice custom work you've done. I especially like the interior and engine work. What kit did the basic engine come from? Later-

I like it. Looks like a lot of custom body work. Just the way I like to build. Nice color combo too. Are the wheels from a diecast? Later-

Tom- What a nice clean build. I have one of these kits that I picked up in 2006 before I left Alaska for....sit down for this, $15. I like the fact that you built it stock. Thanks for sharing. Later-

Hope I like it??? What's not to like. It's fantastic. I love that shade of green. Very nice. Later-

It's been a banner day for me. I've managed to get the body work to a stage that I'm happy with. It's not perfect but... I also gotten the drip rails onto the body using .020X.020 styrene strips and should be able to get the trunk hinges molded by Wed night. I also got a couple of coats of MM Lacquer Bright Platinum Silver paint on my 70 1/2 Camaro Convertible. So, not only have I been able to work on my cousin's build but I also got some done on mine. As I said, Banner day. I'll try to get some photos posted tomorrow. Later-

Jairus- That's the photo of the Fairlane (Sorry) I was thinking about. I've got it mocked up on those wheels ready to be started once I finish my 70 1/2 Camaro convertible (in primer, to be painted this week)and possibly my 60 Starliner drag car with 427. I'm starting to see a theme to my builds. I'll have to call them the "Watson Collection". Later-

Not exactly my cup of tea, but that has got to be one of the cleanest bathrooms I've seen in years. Your build looks even better than the box art. Exellent job for only two days! Later-

Toby- Thanks for the idea. I may have one around here somewhere. Later-

Bruce- Looks really good. Your work is quite nice. I need to get a 69 Goat hood for my build to make it easier to not have to fill that huge hole in the 68 hood. I am finally down to putting the drip rails and trunk hinges on the 50 Ford. I'll swing it by your place soon before I drop it off to my cousin. Keep in touch. Later-

Railfrk- Nice job on the kit. What color is the paint? I like the stripe delete option on this. To be honest, I missed the little bumps. The license plate is a nice touch too, coming from an ex-loco engineer here. Later-

Thanks for the reply. The pix are very helpful. Again, nice build. Later-

Sam- That is a beautiful job. Although I don't see any of the silver painted trim you should really try BMF. It is kind of a bear to get the hang of (at least it was for me), it really adds to the realism. Again, a great looking build. Later-

Jairus- Didn't you do a drawing of a monocolor green 64 Galaxie with a 427 sans hood? Later-

Chan- Those are all very nice and realistic looking builds. Do you have any suspension detail shots for the Chevy? Where did you source the parts from? I am wanting to do a lifted 76 Chevy Stepside but I really don't want to have to scratchbuild it all. Later-

Nice job on the build. I can't wait to build mine soon. Also, I agree. I have that book too and it is a wealth of great photos and info. Thanks for sharing your build. Later-

Toby- Looks good. What source did you use for the 4X4 parts? I want to do a lift like that on a 76 Stepside. Later-

I Love It. Great look. How did you do the glass beads in the headlights and where did you get them? More info please. Later-

Mike- The changes are small but looking good. What is that windshield frame from? That kit is a pretty big block of resin, if I'm not mistaken. My buddy had one of the Flintstone Studes that he actually took the time to sand down and open the hood. Must have taken him a week. LOL What color or other mods do you have planned? Later-

Railfreak- No. You are thinking of the Old Pro 72 Nova kit. This is a new release 69 Nova. It is a beautiful kit. Pick one up. That paint job is looking fantastic. What color is it? Does the 68 Vette come with two complete engines or does it just have the blower parts to add to the stock block? Keep it up and hit us with the updates soon. Later-
