Kenny B Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Here is a 1970 Chevelle SS 454 that I built about 15 years ago. It was given to me by a guy that started it and lets say went crazy on the glue and painted most of it by paint brush. I was going to use it as a parts car until I stripped it and thought I would try to see what I could do with it. I think that it came out not to badly but still need to change out the headlights as one is missing and the rest are very foggy from all the glue. Not to bad for an old glue bomb. Enjoy, Just because it had looked like junk.....It can be rebuilt. Thanks Ken.
cobraman Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Nice, I would never know it was at one time a glue bomb.
tbill Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 great looking save! love the lines of those chevelles, rear tires really fill the wheel wells nicely.
Johnt671 Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 Super job. What brand of paint and color is it,the paint is sharp.
Monty Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Super job. What brand of paint and color is it,the paint is sharp. I was gonna ask the same thing. It's a beautiful shade and it looks like it flowed out perfectly.
Snake45 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Nice paint and stance! Some detailing on the wheels with black paint would REALLY make this model stand out.
Mike 1017 Posted April 19, 2015 Posted April 19, 2015 Luv that color. As mention above detail the wheels and add some tire decals
Kenny B Posted April 19, 2015 Author Posted April 19, 2015 Super job. What brand of paint and color is it,the paint is sharp. I was gonna ask the same thing. It's a beautiful shade and it looks like it flowed out perfectly. John and Monty and anyone else asking the same question. The paint was a mix I did myself. A jar of Model Master Burgandy a few drops of blue and a dash of black was sprayed through my air brush. It sat on the shelf for a couple of months and looked at it one day and sprayed on a couple of coats of Tamyia clear red. Using the same idea on my Peterbilt build. This Chevelle wasn't ment to show I was just messing around with paint and next thing you know I'm trying to save a glue bomb. As far as painting the rims. After the wonderful comments I might just finish it and paint the rims. Thanks to all. Ken.
W117monte Posted April 24, 2015 Posted April 24, 2015 love me a chevelle with fat slicks. looks good.
Kenny B Posted April 26, 2015 Author Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks everyone for the comments. You can almost smell the burning rubber. Ken.
PARTSMARTY Posted April 26, 2015 Posted April 26, 2015 I love saving glue bombs and you save was awesome!!!
Kenny B Posted May 2, 2015 Author Posted May 2, 2015 Does anyone think that I should paint the rims semi gloss black? Ken.
