lghtngyello03 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 (edited) I'd like to thank everyone that followed my build thread and gave tips and kind words. It really kept me going. Here it is after a long build, but I enjoyed every minute of it! The color is ScaleFinishes Chevrolet Light Green Metallic, with ScaleFinishes Clear. The engine bay is fully wired and plumbed, it has MA's Resin Drag radials, all chrome was stripped and painted with SpazStix Chrome, I also added seatbelts, flocked the interior with embossing powder, and added ModelCarsGarage photo etched emblems. Thanks for looking, and I have also included some pics of this American Muscle with some Japanese Muscle. And here is the beast with 2 Japanese beasts, lol. Thank you guys for looking!

Jhedir6 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Looks great man. So I was wrong, I said I didnt like the colour in the WiP cause I honestly thought it was gold and I do not like gold. This green tho, definitely looks good. Nice clean build, nice details, looks stellar.David

Thanks Tyrone, that means a lot coming from you, your builds are always super clean and detailed! I believe this is a link for the tires. I'm not sure, but I bought them from a member on here....but a little research shows the maker of them is a member on here by the name of cnaind. His email is cnaind@ptd.net. I think. http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/ http://public.fotki.com/cnaind/mas-resin-price-lis/ Beautiful work! Thanks Yuri! That looks sick! Thank you Steve! Edited January 6, 2017 by lghtngyello03

71_Sears Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Amazing job! If you took outdoor pics I would say it's a real Nova! The under hood detail is just perfect! Everything is just to size. Thumbs up!
rickcaps55 Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Wow.! That turned out awesome redoing the chrome really does make it stand out.!!!
espo Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Beautiful build. A lot of fine detail work. The Japanese cars look great also, but I'll take the Nova any day.
Janne Herajärvi Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Amazing details, wheel & tire set up could´nt be much better for that style
6bblbird Posted January 6, 2017 Posted January 6, 2017 Wow! I hope that I can build like that when I grow up! (I'm 63)Terrific work!

Everything is just to size. Thumbs up! Thanks Dan! Lol, My photography skills need to improve before I do any outdoor shots. Wow.! That turned out awesome redoing the chrome really does make it stand out.!!! Thanks! Yes, stripping the chrome and respraying is the only way I'll go from now on. Looks much more realistic. Beautiful build. A lot of fine detail work. The Japanese cars look great also, but I'll take the Nova any day. Thanks David. I'd take any one of the 3 in a heartbeat. I love all muscle, whether its Japanese or American. Amazing details, wheel & tire set up could´nt be much better for that style Thank you...gotta love those big meats out back. Wow! I hope that I can build like that when I grow up! (I'm 63) Terrific work! hahah, Thanks Walter. I wish I wouldn't have taken 10+ years off myself. My skills would be way beyond what they are now. I hope I continue to learn new tips and tricks from the forum as I continue to build. (I'm 29 )
