3/13 UPDATE PICS- '66 Chevelle update.

[Geno]

Making slow but steady progress LOL. This will be a curbside model as I'm using the 427 from this kit for my Two Lane Blacktop '55. The engine you see the bottom of is a partial build since the hood isn't opening. I think those '69 SS wheels look pretty darn good on it, they aren't mounted yet as I need to sand the treads on the other two, just on for test fitting LOL.

 

As a reminder, this is what this kit started out as.

Very nice paint finish. I didn't realize that was the old Monogram kit. That makes it that much more impressive.

Thanks Dave, It's been a challenge so far but a lot of fun trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear LOL.

I'm likin' it Gene, and the '66 is my favorite year Chevelle.

Thanks guys, Nick, it's my favorite year Chevelle as well, I just think it looks the meanest of all the Chevelle's. Thanks Richard, I haven't even wet sanded or polished it yet. It should really pop then. It's amazing how easy it was to modify the '64 GTO chassis for this build.

The interior, not perfect but it'll work.

Anybody have a headlight/grille/bumper for one of these? Mine is pretty much trash. Thanks.
