Beautiful hot rod in an outstanding color. Excellent clean build. Well done!

Nice colors! These Monogram kits can still be fun builds, just give them a little extra attention.

Love that flaky gold!

Lots of 70 Chevelle threads here with tons of info; just a quick search brought up a couple of informative threads: http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/97418-70-chevelle-kit-revell-vs-amt/ http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/topic/37987-1970-chevelle-ss396/#comment-391103

Check the "Under Glass" section of the forum, someone just recently customized this custom! I think he called it "The Pennsylvanian".

Pretty ride. With all the crisp detailing you did on the interior, it's kind of a shame you didn't do the convertible! Well done.

That did turn out very nice! Great looking shade of green, really suits the car well. Good job.

Excellent work on this iconic automobile. Your interior is particularly well done, and absolutely beautiful in red. Very well done.

Nice work! Wild color looks perfectly at home on that body. Interior is very attractive as well.

Nice work! Can't wait to see that interior.

Sharp. I think Tamiya's bikes are some of their most realistic kits. They just seem to have that extra pinch of something special.

I like these difficult kits to a degree as well, they make us stretch those basic modeling skills. This one came out very nice, and the red interior and stripe really wake up a white car. Your chassis work is notable, and I always enjoy watching your builds come together. Well done!

Nice color choice, and your mix does indeed look close enough! You are correct about that being the same as the ProShop boxing of that kit. Sort of surprised you aren't doing a color copy of that Matchbox car; it would make a cool mild custom! Maybe tone down the hood scoop a bit...

Looks much more "screen accurate". Nice work. Love them squarebirds!

Candy Root Beer over gold base.

Cool build! Like the color very much, and nice of you to show the comparison to stock.

Nice work under the hood, and I have to agree with the others on that chop job! Sharp truck.

That's a big boat! looks like a vacu-form kit?

Agreed, there's no wrong choice. Handsome Coke-bottle shaped body looks good in just about color, any shade! First one is cool and calm, very stock appearance. Second says, "Hey, looky h'yea! A show car on the street." It's all about intent and personal taste.

I know you have plans already, but that red car is just a big ol' piece of CANDY!

Beautiful save! Can you share with us the paint/color you used, it's very nice.

With all the interest in mock-ups here on the forum, I'm genuinely surprised we don't see more "kerbside" and slammers built up. Both were very popular in the late 90s and early 2000s, to the point that AMT was even producing slammer kits. Curbside is really grass-roots kit building, since early kits were pretty plain underneath anyway. It is a great way to flesh out an idea, paint work, stance, etc. for a possible later full detail build. (or not!) Really liking how this is shaping up, and will be following along. Shoe box Fords are just cool.

It's good to roll with the punches sometimes! Hey, why not just start a new thread?

NICE! Realistic metal finishes really stand out against that gorgeous red. Sanitary build, I'm especially loving the interior. The paint finish: wet look indeed! Well done.
