Beautiful looking paint work and trim.

Might want to Google "1960 Pontiac Pictures". This should give you images of real 1:1 Pontiacs to look at and compare to your kits body. Your eye will tell you what may or may not be wrong with the proportions of the roof on this kit.

The Chevrolet V8 engine was usually, there are always exceptions it seems, a medium shade of Red until sometime around the 1960 to 1961 production runs when they started using a Red with more of a slight Orange tinge to it. The Blue colored V8 engines were used in the 1970's and later became almost exclusively Black in color when they became referred to as the "Corporate Engines" since they were used on most of the other GM vehicles. The Red/Orange color would be considered normal for a 1969 Chevelle. Chevrolets that I have owned in the past from that era were a '66 Impala SS, with a396 engine, a'67 El Camino, also a 396 engine. A '68 Full size Chevrolet Bel Air with the 427 engine and a '74 Chevrolet C-10 Pickup with the 454 engine. And '77 Camaro with the 350 engine. All of these cars had the Orange shade of Red as their factory color. I bought a used '69 Camaro with the base 307 V8 from the original owner and it also shared the same engine color.

Doesn't sound like a sound idea. Suggest looking for a way to vent to the outside and not another enclosed structure.

The chassis screws lead me to believe this is a Promo.

Great paint techniques. Does this scale too the Garbage Truck kit?

Great looking Van. Too bad the decals didn't cooperate, but the color scheme looks good.

Beautiful looking Paint finishes and Interior detailing. The added lighting really shows well.

Beautiful looking Paint color and finish. Great stance and Wheels and Tires.

Beautiful looking realistic finishes. Your picture sittings always add to the appearance of your builds.

Beautiful looking paint and decal work. Like the extra detailing on the engine.

Cowe Bunga, this looks great. Clean looking paint and trim. Like the way the Surf Boards are done.

Great looking paint work and clean looking trim. Like the built Flat Head and the Wheels.

Like the color combination with the contrasting interior. Very cleanly built. Big fan of "The Day 2 Look" here.

Great looking paint finish and interior.

Your patience in this build really shows in the beautiful looking paint work and the clean assembly. The interior looks just like the 1:1 car I bought in the mid 1960's. Like the attention to paint colors and finishes on the chassis and suspension as well as the engine.

Like the "Day 2 look" style/theme of your build. The paint finish looks great. I like how you tucked the bumpers in.

This is a great looking conversion from the stock pickup and has to be your most involved build yet. The paint finishes and colors all work together.

Both beautifully built. The colors are perfect for each one and the interiors are nicely done.

Great looking color and paint work. Cleanly detailed. The roof looks fine to me as is. You wouldn't by chance be a Mustang fan?

Great looking color and paint finish. Very cleanly built.

Great job with the custom body work.

Really clean looking little Fiat. Your wife has a good eye for color, most of these I've seen were this color as well.

Man, this is what I would want my Chevelle to look like if I had a 1:1. Beautiful looking paint and clean body trim. The stance and wheel and tire combo are perfect.

Thank you Wes. I used a Tamiya military color for it's finish and color. Thanks Eric. The grill and bumper combo was something I picked up at a swap meet a ferw years ago, Thank you, glad you liked it. Thank you Charles. Wanted to build something along the order of what I drove early on. Hi Mark, feel free since I got the idea from another builder here on the Forum.
