Outstanding !! As others mentioned, the paint with the center fade looks great.

Now that's just about the coolest thing ever. " Well done" as they say.

Glad to see what Land Rover has done for his family. Got me to start listening to Marley on Pandora again today.

I've had good luck with the plastic liners from the collier of a new shirt. They are very bendable and can be cut very easily.

I've been using a 3 ring school type binder from "Wally World" for a few bucks and they have 8 1/2 by 11 clear plastic sheet protectors also. I think the whole deal can be put together for about $10. While I have not tried it, others have said to get a plastic "snap lid" container to keep them extra dry.

I have had one of these kits but have never gotten around to building it. The rear window looks like it might of come from a Monte Carlo Aero kit or maybe a NASCAR Aero kit.

Ah to be young again. In my late teens and early 20's I got to do some camping and travel by canoe. Saw a lot of northern Wisconsin, Minnesota and even Canada. Now my idea of camping is a Bed & Breakfast with a view somewhere.

Good looking stance and a great job on the rear window.

It's certainly big enough, but my suggestion is to be very careful about the vent fan. The possibility of a fire from certain types of fans with paint fumes venting through them is very real. Remember you are passing flammable gases thru an electrical fan motor that my not be designed to handle a flammable gas. It looks like you would have plenty of room for a "down draft" setup. Then you just need some flex hose to the outside thru the window. I suggest you look at the section of the forum where this sort of thing has been discussed in depth. I think you will find many more ideas than I can offer you. Be safe, not sorry.

I think it would be better if all these molds were back on US soil and we wouldn't have to worry about this sort of thing. Call me an Isolationist, but that's how I feel.

The wheels look great. What colors are you going to use ?

It seems you have solved your side trim problems. From the pictures your subject is a Bel Air sedan ( four door ). The roof you received is a 2-door sedan roof, it can be made to work by making it longer and add the stationary windows that were in the roof behind the doors. I'll enjoy watching this build.

Try using some Plastruct and create your own drop axle.

Like that a lot. Great style.

Outstanding !!

Just some thoughts. As mentioned the OEM wheels on this would have been a gray or as Chevrolet used to call it Argent. The color was more of a semi-gloss and the trim rings were more of a brushed aluminum finish. Just depends on how close you want to get. In later years , around the '77 Z-28's they started painting the wheels the same color as the body. Many good ideas on the running lights. I have had good luck with bare metal foil but used Tamaya clear yellow and clear red. A dab of clear afterwards might help protect the finish.

Lots of good work here. On your 1:1's front spoiler, If you want to try to add one, Chevrolet used to have a replacement center section for the '73 - '77 year model. It was the very short style to replace the ones that everyone was ripping off. It used a simple "pop rivet" type attachment. Your hood moldings look right on, are you going with the tall or short rear spoiler ?

I remember this type of utility box on many types of trucks years ago. Many times the utility box had already been on more than one truck and usually they didn't care if it was pretty or matched the new truck. Often they were just painted black so that it didn't matter what color the new truck was.

Looks great. I like your color choice better than the blue on the box.

Great paint job, I think Larry would appreciate it also. I didn't realize they still had Pabst Blue Ribbon. I used to live in way northern Wisconsin and that is about all we ever drank, and a lot of it.

Henry never made them looking this good. Great build as always.

Great looking build. I noticed what looks like LT emblems on your 1:1 Camaro. That would account for the one piece headliner. Since I have not built this kit I'm not sure what you would have to do to the seats and door panels to match an LT, but I noticed in the model pictures it has the correct hidden wipers. Are the window moldings correct on the model? I like your 1:1 Camaro, I had a '69 for many years and ordered a '77 Camaro LT back when. They are great cars.

I'd like to learn more about your flame detailing technique on your chassis.

I really like the way you even used the box. Great looking build.

Jesse, I'm enjoying your build. For body filler you might try Tamiya Putty. I've had good luck with it and it doesn't seem to shrink later on.
