Wow the way this melds the two different cars/truck defiantly looks factory. Excellent job on the paint too.

Thanks ! Several friends kicked in feedback cause another set (s) of eyes never hurt to spot trouble

Really like the color. Great detailing too! That mold line on upper radiator hose is something I'd get rid of if I were you.

Oops thanks

Whoa! This turned out great, it looks factory. Great work on the wheels, I dig that you actually did the tiny chrome  accents. Motolow pen?

That is awesome. Great vision on your part. :)

Thanks this build was certainly enjoyable playing with a concept idea and trying to keep it totally possible gm could've started the production of the car using available parts . My buddy kept reminding me to keep it period correct

Thanks!  Yeah those wheels were essential to the build, my 71 has the same style.  Yep I stripped all the chrome w super clean, sprayed the blue,  cleared , then used the 1mm molotow pen for the chrome .
