mredjr Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Great job! one old man to another I love the tail lights, every 69 Chevelle I see built that is the first thing I look at. You need to send that picture to Round2 maybe they would fix the tail lights in that kit. I like the decals under the hood as well. Elvin
Sixties Sam Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Very good looking Chevelle! I like the black and red. Good finish and details!Sam
Monty Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 I'm familiar with the flaws and shortcomings of that old AMT kit, which, to me, makes your build even more remarkable. I assumed by now I'd seen just about every paint/interior combination out there, but yours, with its sinister black on red scheme enhanced by AMT's new tampo-printed tires, really stands out. I don't think anyone's ever been satisfied with this kit's tail lights, so your decal tail light trick seems to be an upgrade as well. One question: did you replace or use some other technique to enhance the look of the headlights? Yours look better than the chromed pieces that come as part of the grille assembly.
rustybill1960 Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, You underestimate the finished build here! That Sir is one "GORGEOUS" 10 footer! I am loving everything about this! The fact that in my time, I owned several Chevelles, has nothing to do with my bias towards the build . . . . Seriously, You have one GREAT model there! Thank You for sharing Later Russ
oldnslow Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 That is, by far, one of the best looking 69s I've seen on here. Really like the tail light treatment. Good Job man.

DumpyDan Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 That is beautiful, you have done one of the best results of that kit I have ever seen. Two thumbs up buddy
mikemodeler Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 That is one nice looking Chevelle! Always loved this model year but never built the kit as I was disappointed in how it came from AMT. You did it justice and the decals for head and tail lights was brilliant!
Can-Con Posted July 25, 2015 Posted July 25, 2015 Looks great. Ya know, for all the comments that this car needs a new kit, this old kit sure looks good with a little work. I like your taillight decals.
Ford guy Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 Sweet ride, very cool. Love the black paint/ red stripe.
buffalobill Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 As always you are way too modest. Your '69 Chevelle looks incredible! btw - I've seen other custom decals that Tommy has done, and his artwork is spot-on, and the quality ls excellent. Take a look here: http://www.speedwaydecals.com/
Jeff Johnston Posted July 26, 2015 Posted July 26, 2015 I'd buy those decals if they were on the site. Honestly there are better looking than the Modelhaus replacements IMHO.
spencer1984 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 You've done some incredible work on a very tough kit - nice job!
