Bills72sj Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 This is a ProShop pre-painted kit with mixing and matching of parts from my other Chevelles. Overall it turned out pretty well. I picked the Cragar S/S wheels because they look good on Chevys. I went with a red interior just to spice it up. The engine is a 454 Big Block with ignition wires added. Except for the side marker lights, no BMF was used. Just a touch of Molotow chrome here and there. Quote
Bucky Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Very nicely done! The red makes the whole car stand out. Quote
Geno Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 WOW!!!!, that turned out great Bill, job well done.? Quote
Snake45 Posted November 27, 2019 Posted November 27, 2019 Looks very good! Those pre-painted stripes look much better than any '70 Chevelle decals I've ever seen, including the set I spent most of a day carefully modifying and applying. Well done and model on! Quote

They are nice. The original plan was to have custom RED SS stripes laid over them. I got them from Keith Marks but the ends were different and I didn't want to repaint the body so I am saving them for a future project. Quote
PappyD340 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Super nice Chevelle Bill, paint looks fantastic, well done!! Quote
spencer1984 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Beautiful work, that red interior was a perfect choice. Quote
Hmann68 Posted November 28, 2019 Posted November 28, 2019 Man that’s nice! Great colors and the Cragars set it all off! Beautiful ? Quote
slusher Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Great looking Chevelle! Nice touch on the red interior! Quote
Bills72sj Posted November 30, 2019 Author Posted November 30, 2019 Thank you all on the compliments. It seems a red interior was a good choice (I thought black would be too boring) Quote
Slick Shifter Posted November 30, 2019 Posted November 30, 2019 Nice work detailing the instrument panel. I'm thinkin' both the valve covers might be 180° off but other than that, it looks real nice! Quote

It's easy to remember for future reference that: oil fill caps and PCV holes, etc are always located on the high side of valve covers to minimize oil leakage. Quote
