modeltech Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 well, this car is what started the hobby car modeling for me!! i saw this kit and it was my first model that i started 3 years ago!! i never finished it for some reason so a few months ago i pulled it out and decided to finish her up!! i original wasn't going to go very detailed on it and i was going to add to dominator carbs and some resin valve covers, and what do you know, the next thing i was doing was pulling out the aluminum pulleys making a remote fuel pump adding a photo etch tach and racing harnesses!! the body has been totally shaved!! the drip rails, body lines, door handles, wheel opening mldgs, all badges and i added a resin cowl hood!! the suspension has been lowered as far as i can go without truly hacking it up, i built the alternator and scratch built the alternator bracket!!! i also ran the N.O.S. lines straight into the lower intake runners!! i wired the alternator as well as the MSD box to!!! and this car is painted totally with spray cans!! modelmaster 2 part laquer system the base is bright aqua pearl, and the 2 part spray can ultra clear!! well, let me know what you all think???
Clay Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 Now that is just awesome, love the color and detail.

kasteer Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 Wow. Great build! She looks very sweet. That's one I'd be proud to display! One question... What's with the seat belt latch in the second undercarriage photo?

modeltech Posted August 26, 2008 Author Posted August 26, 2008 once again thanks to all that commented!!!
SuperStockAndy Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Awesome Chevelle!! Also, I see you live in Fort Wayne. That's only like...a couple miles away from me!!!
diymirage Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 looks great but if i could make a suggestion...take a little drill to the exhaust tips it will make it look even better
diymirage Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 if he did that Eelco, then they wouldn't be Supertrapp's anymore or at least that's what Revell i think intended those "tips" to be. a whole lot of old stuff being dug up, some nice to see and some not so much Very nice Chevelle! i thought that was a band?
Guest Johnny Posted May 31, 2011 Posted May 31, 2011 Now thats a car to be proud of! Good job I wholeheartedly agree! Beautiful job on the Chevelle! I have one to build and the only thing I dislike about the kit is they didn't include a stock bumper taillight assembly!
mikemodeler Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 I wholeheartedly agree! Beautiful job on the Chevelle! I have one to build and the only thing I dislike about the kit is they didn't include a stock bumper taillight assembly! The newly re-issued stock Revell '67 Chevelle kit is out and you could source the taillight assembly from it. I agree that having the stock & custom as an option is the one thing they missed in that kit. Back on topic- that is one nice looking Chevelle and that paint is killer!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rob Z Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 SWEET!!! The color is AWESOME and the body work really is spot on... Great job...
W-409 Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 A M A Z I N G!!! I'm not a fan of that style, that bumbers, grille, window trims, everything is painted with bodycolor, but this model is so impressive, that those things doesn't matter at all! Paintjob looks simply fantastic, there are no mistakes on it, it's smooth and very shiny. Engine is great, detailing is simply stunning. I like the chassis too, this one looks lke it could be built on the 90's. Great job on the interior too, seat belts are looking very good. This one is simply awesome build, I can't find any mistakes from it.
