  1. I started with red over white, similar to the box lid but that didn't work out the way I intended. So now I'm leaning toward red. David G.

  6. Like many people, I had online photos hosted by Photo Bucket and suffered disruptions when they... changed their policy. Since that happened, I have been going back, as time allows, to refresh those images through various means. So, here is this topic with newly updated photos. I started this kit back in 2011. When I opened it I found that the roof had been squished and twisted to one side. So i began having problems, literally, right out of the box. As I recall, it took several days to correct. I used scalding water to soften the plastic "A" pillars just enough to allow them to be moved into the proper position and held there and quenched in cool water to fix them into position. This process had to be repeated probably a couple of dozen times to gradually coax the plastic into recalling its rightful place in the universe. When Revell issued this kit they used the chassis from the 59 Chevy. One of the differences between the 1959 chassis and the 1960 chassis is that the 59 chassis has a spare tire well in the floor of the trunk behind the right rear wheel. The 1960 chassis does not. I corrected this error by cutting the offending wheel well out of the chassis, and replacing it with a piece of flat styrene. I then used heavy aluminium foil to create an impression and copy the floor ribbing from the left side and glued it to the right side. Sorry for the old blurry photo. As always, thanks for taking the time to look, and feel free to offer comments and critiques. David G.
