bbowser Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Quickie build. I've always preferred the '68-69 to the '70. Box stock, typical vintage AMT kit had fit issues. Only thing I added from the parts box, a voice in the back of my head kept saying "rearview mirror". Comments welcome, thanks for looking.

Lizard Racing Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 The red engine with the orange "Fram" oil filter is a nice touch. I like the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

espo Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Very nice straight from the box build. I agree with you on the rear view mirror, you don't notice it until you see one with it. The only thing I would suggest has to do with the front bumper. You've got perfect looking parking lamps, but the area where they are mounted is open on the 1:1 car. A little flat black paint in the indentation area of the bumper will give it a lot more depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snake45 Posted September 9, 2017 Share Posted September 9, 2017 That paint looks like a pretty good match for '69 Chevy Garnet Red. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
